The name of Tarangire National Park originated from the Tarangire River winding its way through the parkland. The river is the primary water source for wild animals during the dry seasons. The park is also well-known for its large elephant herds, iconic giant baobab trees, and diverse seasonal swamps and savanna landscapes. We may have the experience of seeing a lion stalking his prey or leopards watching while relaxing in the trees above.

Ngorongoro Crater is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and one of Africa's natural wonders.

The crater is home to about 30,000 large mammals all year round, such as buffaloes, lions, elephants, cheetahs, and rhinos, and a wide variety of birds, such as flamingos, eagles, and buzzards. Be ready to see many animals here within a short time!
