    Today we have a full day in Tarangire. This park is vast and known as the ‘Elephant Playground,’ this remarkable park contains giant herds of these mighty mammals. But Tarangire is also home to buffalo, lion, wildebeest, zebra and gazelle and the park can rival Serengeti for absolute animal densities. What might you see today? Perhaps a solitary male lion strained out under a tree, perhaps a triad of male cheetah enjoying some lazy bonding-time in the sun. Maybe some elegant Grant’s gazelle or zebra bounding away from the road or a couple of giraffe grinding happily from the excellent acacia branches. For Tarangire specialties’, look out for kudu and Oryx. Here as in other parks, it pays not to ignore the small animals. It’s so easy to be fascinated by the power and magnificence of an elephant or the elegance of the giraffe. Ask your guide to find you an agama lizard, especially a male one who changes color in front of you according to the temperature! Or a hyrax, an insignificant-looking creature of around 30cm in length…who astonishingly is related to elephant!
