After breakfast head to Tarangire National Park, which takes about three hours. The park is particularly stunning during the dry season, as many migratory wildlife species return to the permanent waters of the Tarangire River. Large herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, elands, and oryx gather in Tarangire until the rainy season when they migrate again to areas with better grazing.
