Description
Sanctuary Swala
Tarangire National Park
Sanctuary Swala is located in a secluded part of Tarangire National Park, this one of the most exciting and least visited parks in Tanzania. The Park is famous for its large herds of Elephant that come together under the ancient baobab trees. There is an abundance of Zebra, Waterbuck, Giraffe, Kudu and the spiral horned Oryx.
Predators in Tarangire include Lion, Leopard, Hyena and Wild Dogs. With over 550 different species of birds in the park your afternoons are sure to be fun filled. Yellow Collared Lovebirds are a common sighting along the banks of the Tarangire River. Buffalo, Cheetah and Eland are also resident in the park while Brown Hyena are a little harder to spot.
