You will enter through a lush groundwater forest resembling a tropical jungle and teeming with baboons and blue monkeys before the landscape opens up into grassy floodplains and the alkali lake itself.

On your final day, you will drive a short distance to Tarangire National Park. As you enter the park, the landscape transforms into a dramatic vista of grassy savannah dotted with ancient, bulbous baobab trees and termite mounds. Known as the "Elephant Playground," this park hosts the largest concentration of elephants in the region, often seen digging for water in the riverbeds. You will enjoy a game drive through this picturesque landscape, spotting giraffes, zebras, and diverse birdlife. In the late afternoon, you will exit the park and drive directly to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your evening departure flight.
