Arusha -> Tarangire National park  -> Lemala Mpingo

You’ll depart from Arusha after breakfast for the approximately two hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Along the way you’ll pass bustling Masai villages and the vast, open plains that have become synonymous with images of Africa.

Once you’ve entered Tarangire, you’ll begin your game drive across a rich vista of endless golden savannah that sur- rounds the Tarangire River. The river itself runs throughout the year and is a vital source of water for the animals of the region during the dry season. Lined with acacia and Baobab trees, the river is regularly visited by the park’s large ele- phant population as well as other herbivores such as zebras and antelopes.

A picnic lunch with a view of the river is a great way to take it all in, but you’ll have to keep on your toes as the local monkey population does its best to separate you from your lunch!

Driving through the park you’ll also have the opportunity to see lions, leopards, cape buffalo, and a huge variety of an- telopes. If you’re particularly lucky, you might even see endangered animals such as the Greater Kudu or the Fringe-Eared Oryx.

Lemala Mpingo Ridge sits on top of an escarpment with sweeping views across the perennial Tarangire River and valley below and matches the same outstanding standards of comfort and service as the other properties in Lemala’s collection.

After this long day you will retire at this beatiful hotel

Tarangire National park

After an early wake up call, you will leave with a parked bush breakfast as the sun rises. The early game drive is idle to catch game at its best. As the animals head to the pools of water to quench their thirst and their predators ready to get their opportunity for their breastfast, you will want to be at the front row seat for this is what the game drive is all about.

Tarangire has its beauty that not many see. Some call it the small Serengeti, its idle for an introduction to a classic safari. The close encounters with the park’s large elephants, the iconic Baobab trees also known as upside down tree and the diversity of wildlife make it one of the best parks in the country for taking breath-taking photos or simply basking in the beauty of the world’s largest land mammals.

At midday you will head back to your hotel for lunch and lay back at the swimming pool to soak some sun, but dont be too relaxed as you will head out again in the evening for a sunset game drive. Your guide will choose the best way to make it worth your while.

After the drive you will head back to your hotel for your final night.
