START FROM: Moshi or Arusha – Tarangire National Park We will pick you from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha and
following a 2-3 hour drive, you will arrive at the Tarangire National Park. In this region, Hemmingway often
went on big game hunting safaris. After the formation of the national parks in 1970, they turned the seasonal
marshes and the endless savannah that one sees today into, once again, profitable hunting grounds. Today however,
cameras thankfully have replaced the elephant guns. The Tarangire National Park has the highest density of elephants
in North Tanzania and you can view these animals all year round in which the herds often can reach an impressive
number of 300 animals. The Tarangire River has water all year round and during the dry season, between July and
October, many animals from the surrounding areas come to the river for drinking. If you visit the park during
the dry season, you will witness an unforgettable natural wonder as you can observe wonderful creatures such as
lions, giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeests and zebras as well as various types of antelopes and gazelles with a little
luck, you can also spot a python! This area is during the dry season also a heaven for bird watchers with over 550
different species including the Maasai Ostrich -the world largest bird. Around lunchtime, you will stop at a suitable
picnic place before the afternoon is dedicated to more wildlife watching. Before sunset, you will be taken back to your
hotel in Arusha or Moshi.( Option Maasai boma this you can talk to your driver)

Testimonial
I did the Marangu Route with African Traces at the end of December 2020.
For me the most important thing in the experience was the safety of my self and my team,
what i can say its that my guide was checking up on me every hour and at the beginning and
the end of every day we did a-lot of checks and test with a form which gave me a-lot of
confidence for my situation. see more

I went for a 3 days safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro national park with
African Traces and I just loved it. Marco took care of me as I was solo traveller. He picked me up from
the airport and helped to buy a bus tickets after Safari. And the safari tour was amazing, good car,
good food and guide who was speaking English very well so he told us many interesting things about
animals.
