Tarangire Elephant & Ancient Baobab Day Safari
Super-Tusker Breeding Herds, Riverbed Springs & Silale Swamps
Just under two hours from Arusha, spend a full private day immersed among multi-generational elephant herds, thousand-year-old baobab trees, and riverine lions.
Tarangire National Park offers the richest classic savanna atmosphere within comfortable single-day reach of Arusha. As you wind past monumental Adansonia digitata baobabs along the Tarangire River bluff, breeding herds of up to 300 elephants gather beneath umbrella acacias alongside Maasai giraffes, zebras, leopards, and over 550 bird species.
