Tarangire National Park Tanzania
Tarangire just two hours drive from Arusha on a surfaced road, peaks in wildlife activity in the second half of the year. This is when the park’s eponymous river becomes the only reliable source of drinking water for miles around, attracting prodigious herds of elephant, zebra and other grazers.
It can also be pretty good for lion and leopard, as well as smaller predators such as mongooses and genets.
