CAMPING SAFARI

morning for Lake Manyara,
arriving in time for

50km along the base of
the rusty gold 600-metre
high Rift valley
escarpments, Lake
Manyara is a scenic gem,
with a setting extolled
by Ernest Hemingway as
“the loveliest I had
seen in Africa”. The

Conservation Area in

wildlife, people
and archaeology that is
unsurpassed in Africa.

Day 3. Tarangire
National Park.

afternoon game drive to
explore the park famous
for its tree-climbing
pythons. The fierce sun
sucks the moisture from
the landscape, baking
the earth into a dusty
red, the withered grass
as brittle as straw. The
Tarangire River has
shriveled to a shadow of
its wet season self but
it is choked with
wildlife. Tarangire’s
pythons climb trees, as
do its lions and
leopards, lounging in
the branches where the
fruit of the sausage
tree disguises the
twitch of a tail. Meals
and overnight at camp.
Day 4. Arusha;
After breakfast enjoy a
morning game viewing
drive in the Tarangire
National Park return to
lodge for lunch and in
the afternoon depart to
Arusha town to your next
destination.
