Tarangire National Park

The Tarangire bush is scattered with baobab trees, this land’s standing stones, and spread amongst them are herds of elephant and buffalo, often in their hundreds. The habitat is rich and varied: great grassy swamps, dense woodland, tall grass and the snaking Tarangire River, home to a plethora of animals and birdlife. Which makes it perfect lion, leopard - and Nomad territory.

With less distance to cover than in the Serengeti, this is safari slow-time. We spend hours here observing and photographing the natural world in intricate detail, in our favourite haunts all over the park.

We’ve quite a soft spot for Tarangire. Many of us cut our teeth round this park; there’s barely a team member of Nomad who wouldn’t have come here on safari at some point. Knowing it as we do, finding the perfect spot to be - secluded yet in the thick of the animal world - was not too tricky at all.
