Day 1

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is a hidden treasure in northern Tanzania, famous for its giant baobab trees and large herds of elephants.

Lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and many colorful birds are commonly seen. Unlike the busier parks, Tarangire offers a more peaceful safari experience with fewer crowds. The wide-open landscapes, ancient trees, and rich wildlife make it a perfect first stop on your safari. Whether you're a first-time traveler or a seasoned explorer, Tarangire’s natural beauty and quiet charm will leave a lasting impression.
