With a packed lunch, you'll depart Arusha for a two-hour drive through the Maasai steppe towards Tarangire National Park. As you enter the park, you’ll be greeted by a landscape dominated by majestic baobabs rising out of the acacia parkland, forming a perfect backdrop for the large herds of African elephants wandering among them. Other mammals sharing this habitat range from lions, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, and black-backed jackals to Kirk’s dik-diks, dwarf and banded mongoose, impalas, Beisa oryxes, steinboks, and African hare. You should expect to see buffalos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and waterbucks. The variety of birds you may see include the Maasai ostrich, white-headed vulture, African scops owl, and the endemic ashy starling. You'll have lunch in the park. Later in the afternoon, you will drive to Kizumba Campsite for dinner and your overnight stay.
