Day 1: Tarangire National Park – The Land of Giants
Start your adventure with a full-day game drive in Tarangire National Park, famously known as the home of elephants. This park has one of the highest concentrations of elephants in Tanzania, and you’re almost guaranteed to spot them all year round. Tarangire is second only to the Serengeti in terms of wildlife density, making it a truly remarkable destination.
During the dry season, watch as thousands of animals migrate from the Maasai Steppe to the Tarangire River in search of water – a breathtaking spectacle of nature. After a picnic lunch in the park, we’ll head back to Poa Park for a delicious dinner and a peaceful overnight stay.
