We still dream about camping under the full moon, about the giraffe at the waterhole, about hearing lions our last night in Tarangire... But most of all, we remember our time with you and Gabriel. You made our trip everything we hoped it would be: adventurous, educational, and even inspirational.

Tarangire walking safaris

THE PLACE OF SURPRISE AND OF ELEPHANTS. For some reason, amazing things seem to happen on walks here - from a dozen lions hunting outside camp to a thousand buffalo crossing the swamps. Walks here are always exciting. In Tarangire National Park almost all tourism is concentrated in the northern areas leaving the rest as isolated wilderness for us to explore on 2-6 day mobile walking and driving combo safaris. Perfect for those who want a bit of both.

Above all, it’s about the elephants. Here we will bring you close to this majestic animal for a full, interpretive experience in their presence, exposing you to their behavior whether on foot or by vehicle, during morning or even through wild experiences at night. In Tarangire one can regularly see 1000 elephant in a single day.
