Tarangire National Park

“Tarangire National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is famous for its large elephant herds and diverse wildlife, including lions, zebras, and giraffes. With its vast savannas and iconic baobab trees, it’s a fantastic place for safaris, especially during the dry season (June to October) when animals gather around the rivers. Less crowded than other parks in Tanzania, Tarangire offers a more peaceful and authentic nature experience.”

On November 1st, we woke up early, left most of our luggage at the hotel, and headed off for the next adventure in Tanzania: 5 days (4 different national parks) of safari. The first day was spent at Tarangire National Park, one of the smaller parks in size but full of wildlife. I personally loved the nature here, lots of baobab trees, yellowish colors, and some greens trying to peek through. For a first safari experience, it was amazing. There were times when there were so many animals I didn’t know where to look!
After doing a game drive (driving around to spot animals), we had lunch at a spot in the middle of the park. After lunch, we went on another game drive and then, in the afternoon, we drove to our first campsite (which for me was more like glamping). The tents were all set up, there was a pool, hot showers (though the cold ones were actually better), we had an incredible dinner, and went to bed early to prepare for a long drive the next day to Serengeti.Read more
