DAY
4 NGORONGORO | TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK
(Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner)
After breakfast, journey to Tarangire National Park, arriving in time for lunch and an afternoon
game drive in Tarangire. The park
derives its name from the Tarangire River which rises in Tanzania's central
highland and snakes its way through the length of this sanctuary. The river
lures thousands of plains game to banks of its brackish waters especially
during the dry season. At this time the concentration of animals in the park
rivals that of the Serengeti. These animals share the Tarangire's permanent
pools with a diverse birds population that ranges from Fischer's love-birds to
purple gallinule.
With the onset of short rains in October, there occurs
a great migratory dispersal of animals. Herds of wildebeest and zebra flood to
the north, followed by the bulk of remaining animals to the east and south.
Soon all that's left are the resident species of waterbuck, impala, warthog,
dik-dik, giraffe, rhino and lesser kudu. This transition of season is a magical
time and is perhaps the best to experience the amazing animal exodus- rivaled
only by the annual Mara migration. The second and even longer rains are at
their heaviest early April but end abruptly in June. The plain grasses dry up
and the animals flock once again toward the river. [Tarangire Sopa

DAY
5 TARANGIRE | AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK
(Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner)
This morning, drive back to
Arusha after breakfast, arriving in Arusha in time for lunch, thereafter transfer you to Namanga, where you will be met and
driven to Amboseli National Park for a late afternoon Game
drive. Set in rolling savannah scenery, it is dwarfed by the presence of the pink-tinged
snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing volcanic
mountain in the world and topped by one fifth of all the ice in Africa. Against
this magnificent backdrop roam vast herds of 'giant' elephant accompanied by a
kaleidoscope of other fabulous beasts - lion, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe,
baboon, gazelle hippo and wildebeest. Amboseli National Park is also an
ornithological paradise with over 400 species of birds, all manner of
reptilian, flora and fauna and some of the most soul-searing views in Africa.
Enjoy an afternoon game viewing drive in search of the 'big five' among other
animals. Her breath-taking scenery - one of the best places for a photogenic
view of Mount Kilimanjaro, weather permitting, is next to none. [Amboseli Sopa

National Park on your game drive. Lake Nakuru National Park, coloured by a

shores, is a popular place with visitors as well as locals. Waterbuck are
usually sighted along the lake shore, and this is the home of the Rothschild’s
giraffe. Baboon, impala, buffalo, monkeys, warthog, impala, reedbuck and eland
are also residents here. However, the main attractions are the rhinos. The park
is a designated rhino sanctuary and it is one of the best places in Kenya to
observe them. Both black and white Rhinos thrive here.Besides
the greater and lesser flamingoes, the park is home to many other species
including, the Great crested Grebe, the black necked Grebe, little Grebe,
Pelicans, Cormorant, African Darter, Egyptian Geese, night Heron, Fish Eagle,
grey Heron, Marabou stork, Sacred and Hadada Ibis. [Lake

The Masai Mara is a
magnificent landscape of open plains bisected by the Mara River and its
tributaries, and punctuated by marshes and forests. Certainly the most
frequented game reserve in Kenya, this
650 sq kilometer reserve supports the highest density of game to be seen
anywhere. During the seasonal migrations, Masai Mara is home to up to a million
wildebeest and an equally impressive number of zebras that move into the area
from neighboring Serengeti
National Park , in Tanzania . The
reserve is home to all the “big five” and it is also possible to observe;
baboon, eland, ostrich, bat-eared fox, jackal and cheetah. The rivers abound
with hippos and crocodiles. [Masai Mara Sopa Lodge «««]
