DAY 6

Tarangire National Park

Today we will explore Tarangire National Park in search of the large elephant herds . This park is dominated by the perennial Tarangire River and is characteristically known for its giant baobab trees and its  large elephant herds. In fact, it has the largest population of any park in northern Tanzania. These gentle giants abound in excess of 3,000. A picnic lunch will be served at one of the many picnic sites, but beware of the cheeky Vervet Monkeys who enjoy nothing more than stealing unsuspecting safari guest lunch boxes.
