Tarangire is the underrated gem of northern Tanzania. Ancient baobabs rise from the grassland, a river runs through the middle and in the dry season the elephants gather by the hundreds.
It is quieter than its famous neighbours, so you often have a sighting to yourself.
Birdlife is superb, and the park is a wonderful first stop before the crater and the Serengeti.

Eggs and coffee beneath a baobab.
Quiet roads and dozens of birds.
A cold drink as the baobabs turn to silhouettes.
Starting points, not set menus. Tap one to see the days, then tell us what to change.
