Tarangire

South of Lake Manyara and 100km from Arusha, this is a delightful yet underrated National Park. Covering 2,600 sq km, it has plenty of game and numerous bloated baobab trees creating a distinctive landscape seen nowhere else in the north.  The park is exceptionally good for elephants, herds of 50 or 60 being commonly seen, and also contains leopard, python, kudu, wildebeest, zebra and eland.

Tarangire River Camp

A luxury tented camp situated on a high ridge overlooking the Tarangire River where elephants and other game come to drink and bathe.  Being outside the national park boundary, the lodge offers walking tours through the surrounding bush.
