Tarangire National Park is known as the park of the giants due to the numerous herds of elephants that populate it and the majestic thousand-year-old baobabs.

Lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes and various species of antelope can also be seen in the Tarangire National Park.

In Tanzania there are still ancient tribes that have maintained a traditional lifestyle such as the Hadzabe, a tribe of hunter-gatherers who have a very primitive lifestyle, the Datoga skilled blacksmiths whose women show off artistic scarifications on the face, the ancient Masai warriors and shepherds and Makonde skilled sculptors.

During the trip we will have the opportunity to meet these populations both on the shores of Lake Eyasi and in the multicultural village of Mto Wa Mbu.
