Tarangire National Park

After breakfast and a safari briefing in the morning, you head to the Tarangire National Park. Giant baobab trees, bush savannah and the seasonal marshes add to the wonder of this nature reserve. The park is considered one of the best places to view elephants up close. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras and wildebeests which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then but cheetahs are rarely spotted.

From the open roof of the safari Jeep, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and drive to the lodge where you will overnight.
