We wake up to enjoy our first breakfast served by Gran Melia hotel. After breakfast we meet our expert drivers, and for those who wish to exchange money this will be the best time before we start the drive though Tanzania’s rural landscape to Tarangire. After checking in at the Tarangire Safari Lodge we will have lunch and proceed to Tarangire National Park for an afternoon game drive. In the evening we will return to our lodge which is situated on the escarpment overlooking the Tarangire River Valley where herds of elephant come for an afternoon drink.

As we game view we will search for the perfect tree on the valley rim for a spectacular sunset shot before we return to the lodge. Specialties of the park include the abundant bird life with the population of raptors in the world during this time of the year since all the big game came here to drink water from the Tarangire river as everywhere is dry.

            After the first day we will have another full day into the crater and we will start the game drive early in the morning to allow us capture the peak action of the day. This natural wonder supports its own resident herds of buffalo, wildebeest and zebra. Male elephants come to this place to find peace as the Crater is quiet. Hippos inhabit the lakes and pools while lions prowl the long grass. Birds like Kori bustards and crowned cranes are common in this area as are huge eland and buffalo.
