After breakfast, your Kilipath guide will pick you up from your accommodation and drive approximately 2.5 hours to Tarangire National Park along good tarmac roads. The park, named after the Tarangire River—known as the “river of warthogs”—is a vital water source during the dry season and famous for its large elephant herds. Keep an eye out for giraffes, bushbucks, hartebeests, and their predators, including lions and leopards. Tarangire is also home to more breeding bird species than anywhere else on Earth, and its ancient baobab trees, some over a thousand years old, create a truly magical landscape.
Lunch will be served at a picnic site inside the park, after which you’ll continue to your accommodation in Karatu.
