Tarangire National Park Camping Safari
Encounter massive elephant herds and ancient baobabs on an intimate 2-day safari along the Tarangire River.
Overview
Explore Tarangire National Park, home to Tanzania's largest elephant herds and a landscape defined by ancient, gnarled baobab trees rising from golden savannah. This 2-day camping safari offers exceptional game drives along the Tarangire River where elephant, lion, leopard, and over 550 bird species congregate, especially during the dry season (June-October). With far fewer crowds than the Serengeti, Tarangire delivers an intimate, authentic safari experience.
Highlights
Day-by-Day Itinerary

Activities
Early morning game drive when animals are most active. Search for leopard, buffalo, and giraffe in the golden morning light. Depart the park mid-morning and drive back to Arusha, arriving by early afternoon.
