Tarangire is famed for its diverse landscapes and nine distinct vegetation zones, but its true icons are the ancient baobab trees—towering giants that dwarf the wildlife around them—and its abundant elephant herds, the largest concentration in the country. The park’s Tarangire River attracts an incredible variety of wildlife, including lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and numerous bird species.
A picnic lunch awaits at a scenic viewpoint overlooking the river, where you may witness wildlife activity—and perhaps even a hunt—while you dine.

You will spend the day exploring this extraordinary natural wonder, discovering the rich diversity of wildlife that inhabits the crater floor. After lunch, you will continue with an afternoon game drive until late afternoon.
The centerpiece of Ngorongoro is its vast volcanic crater—the largest intact, unflooded caldera in the world. Measuring approximately 20 kilometers in diameter, 600 meters deep, and covering about 300 square kilometers, it is a truly breathtaking natural phenomenon.
