Tanzania 2 - Tarangire National Park

17 - 19 December 2014

Our lodge was only about 5 km inside the park. It took an hour to get there, because we had to stop and watch impala, waterbuck, elephants, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, and baboons along the way. Just a taste of what was to come!

Nothing says "Tarangire" like elephants and baobabs.
Wildlife has the right of way! (Especially if it weighs 4 tons.)

The baobab flower blooms at night, and is pollenated by fruit bats. It is also a favorite food of baboons, who showered our tent with them through the night.
Toyota Land Cruisers have been specially outfitted as safari vehicles: pop-up top, extra spare tire, and the real "rhino package" upfront.
