Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect elephant space

Tarangire's elephants are well-habituated but still wild. If an elephant flaps its ears, raises its trunk, or mock-charges, your vehicle is too close. Ask your guide to reverse slowly. Never position between a mother and her calf.

Support Maasai communities

The Maasai communities surrounding Tarangire coexist with wildlife and depend partly on tourism income. Visit through official cultural tourism programs, buy crafts directly from makers, and photograph people only with consent and agreed fees.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Tarangire travel guide.
