| During the dry summer
months of June - November huge herds of wildlife travel vast distances
from the south and East to Tarangire to take advantage of the
permanent waters of the Tarangire River, the sight of several hundred
elephant young and old frolicking in the shallow muddy waters after
several long days across the parched Tarangire hinterlands is a sole
inspiring sight. Gerenuk, Lesser Kudu are
all local specialties to this dry, remote, region, and are obviously
followed by a myriad of predators. We experience no crowds, no long
drives - just wilderness Africa and ethnic culture. The emphasis
is on wildlife, culture, walking and observing behavior. We seek out
rock paintings, walking along elephant paths to water holes.
We climb rocky outcrops to view sunrise
or sunset, to just to rest and stand in awe. We drive at night to seek
out rarely seen nocturnal animals. Hides have also been erected
overlooking water holes - another exciting way to view wildlife. |
