If you’ve never been to Tarangire (and even if you have), you’re in for a real treat. Tarangire is filled with giants; baobab trees all across the park, as well as elephants. Of the big cats, you’ll probably see lions, cheetahs and leopards around too. Watch out for the wildebeests, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and zebras. Our guide will take you off the beaten track and share stories about the park and the natural world around you.

As you enjoy your meal at the picnic site, the sound of birds singing and the rustling of leaves in the wind will add to the peaceful and serene atmosphere of the moment. Later we leave Tarangire behind us and drive toward the beautiful Heart & Soul Lodge.

Your highlights for the day might include getting up close and personal with the elephants that made this park famous. Many baboons, as well as one of a few lion populations in Africa, spend much of their time in the trees. Between the forests at the foot of the escarpment and the lake that gives the park its name, enjoy the rich birdlife and the chance of seeing predators ambush their prey.
