Thursday 24 July
We took an early flight from Zanzibar to Arusha and then a second flight in a tiny plane (12 seater) to Tarangire NP.
We don't usually like to do these little flips but the journey was smooth enough and uneventful.
We were met at Koro Airstrip by Yuda, our guide from BasecampTanzania.
What a beautiful park, I'm really glad we included it in our itinerary.
We saw plenty of game, loads of elephants and we got a chance to get to grips with some common East African birds.
All safari vehicles across Tanzania are Toyota Landcruisers modified with 3 rows of seats and a roof that raises up for game viewing but can be closed when you drive on the open road.
TBC ( Tanzania Bush Camps ) have numerous semi-permanent tented camps. The one in Tarangire moved to a new site and only recently opened. What a gorgeous camp. We stayed in a large safari tent with a lounge, bedroom and bathroom en-suite.
Main dining and lounge tents are in the middle of a semi circle of guest tents.
You have to be escorted to and from the rooms after dark. The three course dinner is buffet style. We heard lions, hyenas and jackals calling all night and from all directions around camp. After breakfast we headed out on our journey up to Serengeti and we found the lions in a riverbed not far from camp.
