The park is famous for its large elephant herds, often seen gathering near water sources, along with lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and over 400 bird species.
    At midday, enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park surrounded by nature, often with wildlife sightings nearby. After lunch, continue with an afternoon game drive searching for predators and enjoying the iconic baobab tree landscapes that make Tarangire unique.
