Tarangire or Lake Manyara National Park

Drive to Tarangire National Park, one of Africa’s little-known gems & should be on the itinerary of all lovers of wilderness & solitude.

Tarangire’s landscape is incredibly diverse. It is dotted with ancient baobab trees & large termite mounds. The dry season sees the harsh sun suck the moisture from the landscape, baking the earth a dusty red while the wet season brings dense bush & luscious high grasses.

Famous for its large elephant population, it is also home to zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, waterbuck, baboons, dwarf mongoose, impala, buffalo, antelope & fringe-eared oryx. Predators include lion, cheetah & leopard.

Here you will enjoy a full day game drive.

Our Full Service Camping Safari are all inclusive and we also include all camping gears (tent, mattress, sleeping bags and pillow). They are also non participation which means your Guide and Chef prepares the tent and all of the meals. All you need to do is relax with a drink around the camp fire.
