On Day 1, you explore Tarangire National Park, well known for its huge herds of elephants, ancient baobab trees, and the life-giving Tarangire River that attracts animals year-round. During the game drive, you may spot lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, and a wide variety of bird species in the open savannah landscape.
