The name of the park is also coming from the Tarangire River, which is the only source of water for wild animals during the dry season. The park is famous for its large number of elephants, baobab trees and tree climbing African pythons. At the end of the afternoon we will arrive at African Glamping Camp where you’ll sleep in a tent with normal beds.

Lake Manyara National Park is located between the rocks of the Great Rift Valley and Lake Manyara and is approximately 390 km2 and comprises two thirds water. The rest of the park is a large strip of land between the lake and the rocks. The beauty of this park is partly due to a large variety of wildlife, grasslands, forests and water. Lake Manyara has one of the largest populations of water birds, over 400 species, including flamingos and pelicans. But also large herds of elephants, giraffes, hippos, water buffalos and of course the impalas.

The Serengeti
Today we drive to the Serengeti and do a game drive in this amazing park. The Serengeti is known for its endless plains of savannah and forest landscapes. An area of about 30,000 km2 in the north of Tanzania and Kenya, of which 80 % is located in Tanzania. The park is famous for the migration involving about 1.5 million herbivores and followers, thousands of predators are moving because of the drought in the northern hills to the southern plains. After the rains in mid-April they go back via a detour through the western part. The grasslands cover more than one third of the park, where you will find many animals throughout the year. At the end of the afternoon we’ll arrive at the campsite in the middle of the Serengeti. Your tent will be prepared and in the evening the chef will cook a nice diner for you.

Day 7
Lake Natron
Today we’re going to visit Lake Natron and its waterfalls. Lake Natron is a soda lake at the base of the active Ol Donyo Lengai volcano, the area around Lake Natron is often described as having a desolate and almost lunar beauty. East Africa has 1.5-2.5 million Lesser Flamingos, representing three-quarters of the world population and most of them are hatched at Lake Natron. Food is plentiful, nesting sites abound – and above all, the lake is isolated and undisturbed. The lake and its ecosystem provides a source of livelihoods to the local communities. Walks around the lake and to the streams and waterfalls along the nearby escarpment make for a fantastic adventure off the beaten track. In the afternoon we’ll drive back to Arusha where we arrive before dinner time.
