Itinerary

After breakfast, you'll be picked up from your hotel and driven to Tarangire National Park, Tanzania’s third-largest park and a haven for its impressive elephant population. The park is notable for its towering baobab trees, which dwarf the animals feeding beneath them. Wildlife congregates around the Tarangire River, the only permanent water source in the area, attracting a diverse range of animals, including leopards, cheetahs, and up to 6,000 elephants. With over 300 bird species, it’s also a fantastic destination for birdwatching. In the evening, you'll head to Ngedere Camp and lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
