Paradise of Elephants

Often called the ‘Paradise of Elephants,’ Tarangire National Park is known for its expansive grasslands, woodlands, and swamps. Located in the Rift Valley, it’s home to ancient Baobab trees and sees large populations of up to 3,000 elephants; not to mention 25,000 wildebeest, 30,000 zebras, or the majestic fringe-eared oryx. Best visited during the dry season when the wildlife moves to congregate around water sources, the unforgettable spectacle of nature in motion must be seen to be believed.

Ngorongoro Conservation Areas

God’s Amphitheatre - The Eighth Wonder of the World

Often called the "eighth wonder of the world," Ngorongoro is a vast reserve featuring rugged highlands and an ancient volcanic crater of grassy plains at it’s centre. The park's alkaline Lake Magadi hosts flamingos, and the crater itself is a wildlife haven, home to lions, rhinos, elephants, and many others. Visitors enter through the enchanting Oldeani forest, before descending into the crater itself to witness nature in its full glory with beautiful animals visible at every glance. In and outside the crater, Ngorongoro is literally overflowing with wildlife. With its unique landscape and the indigenous Maasai tribe who have raised their livestock in the area for generations, Ngorongoro is one of the world’s most spectacular and wildlife-rich locations.
