Tarangire National Park – Afternoon Game Drive

Travel onwards to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s hidden safari gems, known for its vast elephant herds and striking landscapes dotted with ancient baobab trees. During the dry season, the Tarangire River acts as a vital lifeline, drawing large numbers of wildlife and birds to its banks. Enjoy an afternoon game drive in this wonderfully wild and less-crowded park before continuing to Osupuko Tarangire Lodge, located just outside the park, for dinner and an overnight stay, surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.

After this cultural encounter, you return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
