Departing from Arusha in the morning to reach the beautiful park of Tarangire, located about 3 hours away. Tarangire, which translates to “river of warthogs” is the 6th largest park in Tanzania. It is famous for its large numbers of game who gather around the river particularly around the dry season because it is the only source of water. Apart from large numbers of game, the park is widely known as a haven for birdwatchers because of the vast bird species that can be spotted. The 2,600sq. Km sized park has the second highest animals concentration right after Serengeti National Park. It has the world’s largest elephant herds of 200 and higher.
