Tanzania Less Traveled: Huge Elephant Herds, Giant Baobabs & Some of Africa's Densest Wildlife

about the steps we are taking to enhance safety in response to COVID-19.
Seldom-visited Tarangire, the “Baobab Capital of the World,” teems with animals. Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry riverbed for underground streams while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. Tarangire is also one of very few places in northern Tanzania where we may see dry-country antelope such as the fringe-eared oryx and gerenuk. A range of daily activities from our secluded safari camp showcases it all: guided walking safaris, wildlife drives in open vehicles, bush breakfasts beneath a baobab tree, and sundowner cocktails before returning to camp for a gourmet dinner under the stars.
