Inside Tarangire, baobab woodland and the river corridor create varied habitat. Elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelope and predators may be encountered, and your guide chooses roads according to current conditions rather than promising particular sightings. On the 7-Day Tanzania Mid-range Family Safari & Balloon Experience, this is the main focus of day 1.
