4天塞倫蓋蒂、恩戈羅恩戈羅和塔蘭吉雷safari

Your safari begins immediately and without ceremony: your driver-guide collects you from your Arusha hotel, and within two hours you are pulling through the gates of Tarangire National Park for your first game drive. There is no better way to begin a Tanzania safari than with Tarangire – a park that consistently surprises visitors who expect it to be merely a warm-up act before the Serengeti. Tarangire is one of the northern circuit's true hidden gems. Known for its massive baobab trees, sweeping landscapes and prolific wildlife, it offers a different texture and character from the open plains ahead – a more intimate, wooded landscape that reveals its treasures gradually. You will spend the afternoon exploring on game drives, searching for the large elephant herds that gather along the Tarangire River, prides of lion resting in the shade of acacia trees, graceful giraffe moving between the canopy, and the rich variety of birdlife that makes this one of Tanzania's finest birding destinations. By the time the light turns golden over the hills, you will understand why so many travellers who come to Tarangire as an afterthought end up considering it the highlight of their trip.
