With huge baobabs scattered across its skyline, Tarangire Park presents an almost surreal picture with many of the trees being rubbed raw by the huge herds of elephant which pass through in search of food. Apart from the Tarangire River itself, which runs into huge swamps in the south and which concentrates most of the game, the park is exceptionally dry.
In direct contrast, the neighbouring Lake Manyara Park is lush and green with swaying vines and twisted fig trees. This deep forest is home to thousands of monkeys, birds and the rare, tree-climbing lion. The wall of the Rift Valley, which flanks one side of the park, provides a wonderful setting for several small lodges.
