In the morning, enjoy breakfast at the hotel before being picked up by our Safari guide. We'll then embark on a journey to Tarangire National Park for a full day of thrilling game drives. Tarangire is a hidden gem of Africa, recommended for those who cherish wilderness and solitude. Named after the Tarangire River, which sustains the park during the dry season, it boasts a diverse landscape unlike anywhere else on the northern safari circuit. Here, you'll encounter ancient baobab trees, revered by the Maasai as the first tree in creation, and massive termite mounds.
