If you’ve never been to Tarangire (and even if you have) you’re in for a real treat. Tarangire is filled with giants – baobab trees all across the park, as well as elephants. Of the big cats, you’ll probably see lions, cheetahs and leopards are around too. Watch out for the wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and zebras. Our guide will take you off the beaten track and share stories about the park and the natural world around you.

As you enjoy your meal at the picnic site, the sound of birds singing and the rustling of leaves in the wind will add to the peaceful and serene atmosphere of the moment. Later we leave Tarangire behind us and drive towards Heart and Soul Lodge where you can take a dive into the pool.

As the sun begins to set, the experience isn't over yet - the journey back to your lodge can be just as exciting.

As you venture closer to the Mara river, you might start to see vast herds of wildebeests, with their shaggy manes and sweeping horns, grazing peacefully. Along the way, you may encounter other predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas who are always on the lookout for their next meal.

During the migration season, you may also witness the wildebeest river crossing.
