In Tarangire, thousands of elephants ramble beneath the gnarled branches of 500-year-old baobab trees. Although often overlooked, this remote national park in northern Tanzania has a bounty of wildlife to discover in its woodlands, lakes, grasslands and swamps. Visit in the dry season between July and October and you’ll see tens of thousands of animals in the midst of a mini-migration, drawn to the lifeline of the Tarangire River. While 300-strong prides of elephant bathe in its cool, silvery depths, snorting herds of buffalo graze on the shoreline and elegant gazelles stop to drink, trailed by Africa’s most fearsome predators.
Exciting chase scenes, straight from a David Attenborough documentary, take place at the Silale Swamp, where lions and cheetahs whip through the grasslands in pursuit of zebras and baby wildebeest. Rarer to spot are the shy oryx, giraffe-necked gerenuks and endangered wild dogs who find sanctuary in Tarangire. Wander the park on foot with a Maasai guide to feel the ancient earth beneath your feet, glimpse some of the area’s 500 bird species and learn the secrets of medicinal plants used by this tribe for generations. By night, watch the Maasai perform traditional dance displays around the bonfire as stars sparkle above.
