On the first day of your adventure, your Ro Scavenger Safaris guide will pick you up from your accommodation after breakfast. Tarangire National Park is a place of natural wonder. The journey to the park takes about 2.5 hours on well-maintained roads. Tarangire National Park is named after the Tarangire River, a lifeline for wildlife during the dry season, earning it the nickname 'river of warthogs.'
The park is renowned for its thriving elephant families, often seen along the riverbanks. You will also spot other creatures like giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeest, closely followed by predators like lions and leopards.
Tarangire is a birdwatcher's paradise, with more breeding bird species than anywhere else. Majestic baobab trees, some over a thousand years old, grace the park. Lunch is at a scenic picnic site. Enjoy your game drive, then transfer to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay, ending a day full of wildlife encounters and natural beauty.
