our lodge was in with the animals and I felt more a part of life in the park.
We spent two days in Tarangire National park searching for the famous tree lions. We didn't spot any lions in tree's but did see a Male Lion mating a number of times. We also got up close and personal with a lot of Elephants including viewing baby elephants. The two camps we stayed at in Tarangire where also a highlight. Both luxury tented campsites which really gave you the impression of being out in the wilderness amongst the animals. Would highly recommend the Kikoti Safari Camp.
A great place to view Elephants up close and personal and some great safari camps!

Our last park and one where the wildlife was more elusive. Perhaps because it was drier. The wildlife surrounding the Sopa Lodge were elephants and WaterBuck primarily and could be easily spotted.

If you’re planning to visit Serengeti, no need to visit Tarangire

The Tarangire was the first national parks we've been to, and we feel it was quite simplistic, the elephants are the monopoly animals.
