It is famous for its dense wildlife population, which is most spectacular in the dry season between June and September.
It is during this period that thousands of animals – wildebeest, zebra, eland, hartebeest, buffalo, and oryx migrate from the dry Maasai steppe to the Tarangire River in search of water. The predators – lion, leopard, and others- as is the custom in the savanna follow closely by. Birds are also abundant here and over 550 species have been recorded. Dinner and overnight: Bougainvillea Safari Lodge.
After breakfast, we depart towards Lake Manyara National Park which although is one of the smaller parks in Tanzania, also contains some of the most diverse habitats of all the Tanzanian parks with it’s towering mahogany trees and giant figs.
