This 5 days tour of mara river crossing safari allows you to witness the great migration at the Mara River and sleep in superb accommodations. Travel Holidays Tours & Safari will immerse you in the unspoiled nature of real Africa as you see animals up close and take photos of the beautiful landscapes of Tanzania. All this with the assistance of a tour operator based in Arusha, full board on safari, personal English-speaking guide, and private use of a 4×4 Jeep (with mineral water, power sockets, and binoculars).
Pick up from your lodge and start a beautiful journey to Tarangire National Park while carrying lunch boxes.
Tarangire is well-known for its large elephant herds and diverse landscapes, from seasonal swamps to savanna, with the Tarangire River winding its way through the parklands. We may have the experience of seeing a lion stalking its prey or leopards watching while relaxing in the trees above. Once the game drives are done, we drive to your lodge for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.
