Highlights
- Get up close and personal as large herds of elephants wander along the life-giving Tarangire River, surrounded by iconic baobab trees.
- Watch lions and leopards go hunting in the wild landscape of Tarangire National Park.
- Learn about the fascinating way of life of the Hadzabe, one of the last hunter-gatherer community.
- Discover all the Big Five in one of the densest wildlife habitats in the world, set in a breathtaking, uninterrupted volcanic caldera.
- Marvel at the diversity of birdlife, ranging from colourful weaverbirds to majestic birds of prey, across the different stops of the safari.
Every time I drive through Tarangire National Park with guests, I feel a deep connection to the earth as we follow the gentle giants - the elephants - roaming silently through the setting sun. Later, in the Ngorongoro Crater, I share the awe of my guests as we pass very close to a resting rhino grazing peacefully in the cool morning air.
