The majority of travellers to the region either miss out on Tarangire altogether or venture into the park for only a matter of hours, leaving parts of Tarangire virtually untouched.
During lunch, your driver will set and prepare the table for the meal of soup. This will be followed by a glass of wine, tea or coffee. After lunch, continue with the game drive until the evening, when you'll drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
