We shall continue our Tanzania Family Safari to the beautiful Tarangire, a pristine park in Central Tanzania. We shall enjoy game drives in this magical place seeking the local animals.

Named after Tarangire River, this park is indeed interesting and is renowned for its high density of Elephants, beautiful Baobab trees and scenic Termite Mounds. We shall hope to find lions, hippos, leopards, cheetahs, assorted antelopes and much more.

We shall also explore the beautiful Tarangire Swamp, where animals often congregate for water and evergreen vegetation.

We shall drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a pristine soda lake in the Rift Valley. The local Baobab trees will illuminate our journey through this lowland region.

Here we see lots of birds, and during good time, flocks of flamingos fill the lake shores. The beautiful birds here are a great experience on our Tanzania Family Safaris. The local game is mainly composed of monkeys. Others include Savannah Elephants, Maasai Giraffe, tree-climbing Lions and much more.

We shall then enjoy a relaxed afternoon at the Ngorongoro Highlands.

We shall enjoy the morning inside this beautiful crater, which is often a great highlight on our Tanzania Family Safaris. The mighty Ngorongoro is indeed an amazing place. It is known as one of the wonders of Africa. Descending down the crater floor takes you through great scenery and you get to experience the local Euphorbia tree varieties.

Herds of wild animals are plenty inside the crater as well as wonderful views of the crater walls. Look out for the local Lions, Black Rhinos, Common Zebras, Cheetah, assorted Gazelles, Nile Hippos and Wildebeests.
