2 DAYS / 1 NIGHT TARANGIRE & LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK.

This safari in Tanzania is perfect for those who want to see the most impressive African animals in a short time. These two national parks are situated near one another, meaning you won’t waste precious time driving between destinations. Lake Manyara is not only the habitat of a huge number of birds including hornbills, pelicans and storks but also the nesting grounds of colonies of pink flamingos. It is here that you can meet lions climbing trees and even secretive leopards. Tarangire is known for its high population of elephants and the chance to spot predators along the river, stalking their prey.
