Your driver will stop during the safari for a picnic lunch in the park. Covering nearly 2,600 km² (roughly the size of Luxembourg), Tarangire is considered one of the best places in East Africa to observe elephants up close, including large herds with calves. You'll also have the chance to spot Maasai giraffes, gazelles, antelopes, buffalo, wildebeest, lions, leopards, baboons, and over 550 bird species.

Expect an array of zebras, wildebeest, and buffalo. The crater shelters over 25,000 large animals — including 26 endangered black rhinos — as well as the world's densest concentration of lions. Nearly half a million visitors come to witness this incredible place each year.


The descent into the crater is breathtakingly beautiful, with its lush forest and thousands of animals.

You have the option to return to your lodge for a hot lunch or enjoy a picnic at one of the many sites available throughout the park. After lunch, continue your afternoon safari.
