Expedition Overview

The Sanctuary Experience

Celebrated for holding the highest concentration of African elephants in the world, Tarangire National Park is a landscape straight out of prehistoric time. Towering, thousand-year-old baobab trees punctuate golden grasslands while the perennial Tarangire River serves as the lifeblood for tens of thousands of wildebeest, zebras, buffaloes, lions, and leopards during the dry migration months.
