Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is the third largest national park in Tanzania. It is the vast number of Baobab trees that first capture the eye as you enter Tarangire. The gently rolling countryside is dotted with these majestic trees, which seem to dwarf the animals that feed beneath them.

The park is spectacular as it is home to herds of wildebeest, zebra, and elephant, who gather to stay in Tarangire to enjoy its abundant grazing land. Tarangire is known for its substantial herds of elephants, and an outstanding bird life. Over 300 bird species have been recorded in Tarangire. Get prepared for an interesting Safari full of great sightings.

The Makonde Tribe

The Makonde tribe originally migrated north from Mozambique to the southern part of Tanzania. Located on the Makonde Plateau, they have traditionally been somewhat isolated and thus remained largely unaffected by colonial and postcolonial development. The Makonde have a reputation for cultural conservatism and a desire to defend both their territory and their way of life. They represent a strong figurative art through their authentic carvings that represent life, love and working together. Their best carving work is made out of the Ebony tree. The Makonde people along with Kamba people of Kenya are the only two tribes in East Africa that have the carving skill. [learn more]
