Tarangire vs Serengeti

Tarangire is river woodland, baobabs, and elephants close to Arusha. The Serengeti is scale — open grassland and a much larger circuit. Most week-long trips use both rather than choosing one.

The route

  1. Closer to Arusha

    Tarangire National Park

    Shorter transfer, strong dry-season concentrations along the river.

  2. The big plains

    Serengeti National Park

    Needs more days to feel. Pair with Tarangire instead of treating them as rivals.
