Once inside the park, you’ll enjoy a thrilling game drive through open plains dotted with iconic baobab trees and large herds of elephants. Tarangire is also home to lions, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and over 500 species of birds. After a picnic lunch in the park, continue your afternoon game drive before heading to your lodge near Karatu for dinner and a well-deserved rest.
