Tarangire lies to the south of the large open grass plains of southern Maasai land and is the best-kept secret on the northern safari circuit. It offers wonderful panoramas of wide savannah grasslands dotted with open acacia woodland studded with large Baobab trees. The density of game is second only to the crowded Ngorongoro Crater.
This unusual park lies in the shadow of the Great Rift Valley whose reddish brown escarpment wall looms 1,950 feet high (600 metres) on the eastern horizon. Waterfalls spill over the cliff and hot springs bubble to the surface in the south.
Serengeti is one of the greatest national parks in the world, the park gets its name from the Masai word Serengeti meaning ‘endless plains’. The Serengeti greets you with a sight of miles and miles of endless African savannahs filled with wild animals. This park draws thousands of people from all over the world to witness the much acclaimed migration of the wildebeest – one of the most fascinating sights in the world.

From the entrance gate, the road winds through an expanse of lush jungle-like groundwater forest where hundred-strong baboon troops lounge nonchalantly along the roadside, blue monkeys scamper nimbly between the ancient mahogany trees, dainty bushbuck tread warily through the shadows, and outsized forest hornbills honk cacophonously in the high canopy.
