Why this trip

Baobabs stand here like guardians, and between them herds of elephants move to the river. Tarangire National Park is regarded as baobab country, and safaris are the main programme: long drives at sunrise, breaks at the Silale Swamp Picnic Site and observations along the Mto Tarangire. Physically that demands endurance in sitting and good eyes. A long telephoto lens, sun protection and enough drinking water make the long drives noticeably more pleasant, and patience pays off with every sighting.

As accommodation the Tarangire Safari Lodge is named in your trip file. Between July and October, in the dry season, the animals gather at the river, which makes sightings easier. The entrance to the national park at the Entrance Gate is the starting point of most day tours. Arusha, Ngorongoro, the Serengeti and Zanzibar are the neighbours and form a classic northern Tanzania route.

With about 9 to 11 hours of flight time and usually one change, the first day belongs to arrival. A visa is required, you should check the rules before booking. Which driving times suit your group is something you discuss with Adventure by video call.
