Arrive at the park and begin your first exciting game drive through its diverse landscapes, renowned for its large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees and seasonal wetlands. Your experienced guide will explore different areas of the park while searching for wildlife in their natural habitat. Keep an eye out for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, antelopes and, with luck, lions. Tarangire is also home to a wide variety of bird species, offering excellent opportunities for birdwatching.
