Tarangire Elephants & Baobabs Safari
Great herds, ancient trees and the crater rim
Overview
Five days built around Tarangire's legendary elephant herds and baobab-studded landscapes, finishing with a full day on the Ngorongoro Crater floor. A photographer's safari with soft light, big tuskers and the caldera's Big Five.
Two nights in Tarangire allow unhurried mornings and afternoons in the park's best game areas, before the drive up to the crater rim for the grand finale.
