Day 1
Tarangire national park
Tarangire national park
Today, we'll arrange for your pickup from the airport before embarking on a journey to Tarangire National Park for a comprehensive full-day game drive. Tarangire stands as one of Africa's hidden treasures, a must-visit for those seeking an encounter with untamed landscapes and tranquil seclusion. Its name is derived from the Tarangire River, which meanders through the park and serves as the sole water source during the dry season.
The terrain of Tarangire is remarkably diverse, boasting a blend not found elsewhere on the northern safari circuit. It features ancient baobab trees, revered by the Maasai as the first trees in creation, and expansive termite mounds. In the dry season, the relentless sun drains moisture from the land, casting a dusty red hue across the terrain, while the wet season transforms it into a lush expanse of dense bush and vibrant high grasses. Notably, Tarangire is celebrated for its substantial elephant population.
