Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is one of Africa’s hidden treasures, a must-visit for anyone who cherishes wilderness and solitude. Its landscapes are strikingly diverse, characterized by towering ancient baobab trees and scattered termite mounds. During the dry season, the sun scorches the earth, turning it a dusty red, while the rainy season transforms the park into a sea of lush, green grasses.
Renowned for its large elephant population, Tarangire is also home to a wide variety of wildlife, including zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, waterbuck, baboons, dwarf mongoose, impala, buffalo, various antelope species, and the rare fringe-eared oryx.
