Why this trip
Baobabs that are centuries old, and beneath them elephant herds moving to the river: Tarangire in Tanzania is a park for travellers who want not only to see elephants but to observe them for a long time. Anyone who links their lifelong wish of a safari with this picture finds it here particularly impressive in the dry season. Tarangire National Park follows the river of the same name, and on its banks animals from the whole surroundings gather in the dry months. At the Silale Swamp Picnic Site you can take a break, with a view of swamp and savannah.
The Tarangire Safari Lodge and the Honeyguide Tarangire Camp come into question as accommodation, both with a view of the landscape. July to October is the best travel season. The flight time is about nine to eleven hours, mostly with a change. Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Zanzibar are neighbouring destinations, and Tarangire often stands at the start of a northern route.
Anyone who has only a few days can choose a calm opening here and get used to the rhythms of safari. In the video call Once in a Lifetime discusses with you whether Tarangire should be the opening or a destination of its own.
