The park covers approximately 2600 sq. km and is roughly the size of Luxembourg. The Tarangire National Park is considered one of the best places in East Africa to see elephants up close. One reason is that there are approx. 4000 animals in the region, and another is that the elephants are not too bothered by the presence of motor vehicles.

Leave the park in the afternoon and drive to Arusha Town for your dinner and overnight stay at your hotel.
