Famous for its massive elephant herds and picturesque baobab trees, Tarangire offers a rich variety of landscapes—from golden savannahs and seasonal swamps to the wildlife-rich Tarangire River.
Keep your camera ready for sightings of zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffes, and, if luck is on your side, the park’s resident lions and leopards. Midday, you’ll pause at a beautiful picnic spot to enjoy a freshly prepared lunch before continuing your game drive into the late afternoon.
