After an early breakfast in Arusha, your guide will pick you up for a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park—known for its towering baobabs and large herds of elephants. Once inside the park, begin your game drive through riverine landscapes and acacia woodlands where wildlife gathers around the Tarangire River, the park’s main water source.
Explore the park throughout the day as you look for elephants, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, buffalo, and possibly predators like lions or leopards. Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park before continuing your afternoon wildlife viewing. In the evening, drive to your lodge or camp in the Mto wa Mbu/Karangai area for dinner and an overnight stay.
After breakfast, head toward Lake Manyara National Park, a beautiful area known for its lush forests, open plains, and vibrant soda lake. Start your game drive in the groundwater forest where monkeys and large baboon troops thrive, then continue toward the lakeshore where giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, zebras, and various bird species are commonly seen.
Lake Manyara is famous for its rare tree-climbing lions, so keep an eye on the branches as you explore the park. After a rewarding morning of wildlife viewing, enjoy your packed lunch before beginning the return journey. In the afternoon, drive back to Arusha where your 2-day safari concludes.
