Tarangire Walking Safari

10 HoursWildlife ExperiencesTarangire

A Tarangire walking safari swaps the vehicle for your own two feet, tracking elephant, giraffe and plains game on foot with an armed ranger among the park's giant baobabs. After a morning bush walk you climb back into the 4x4 for a classic afternoon game drive. It is a rare, quieter way to feel the wild up close - a full day from Arusha for walkers who want more than a window view.
