Overview
Three days among Africa's largest elephant herds in Tarangire — ancient baobab forests, tree-climbing lions, and over 550 bird species.
Tarangire National Park is famous for its enormous elephant herds — often numbering in the hundreds — and its landscape of ancient baobab trees rising like sentinels across the savanna. The Tarangire River is a year-round water source that draws wildlife in extraordinary concentrations during the dry season. This 3-day safari explores the park's diverse habitats.
