After a short briefing in the morning, you will travel in a south-westerly direction to the Tarangire National Park, best-known for its huge elephant herds. The park has a diversity of landscapes including grass, acacia woodlands and forests. Animals range from swarms of yellow breasted lovebirds to kudus, buffaloes, elands, giraffes and the weird-looking gerenuk. Predators include lions, leopards and hyenas, while wild dogs are very rare. In the late afternoon you will leave the park and travel to the lodge, where you will spend the night.
