🐘 The refreshed Sanctuary Swala in Tarangire National Park now features a stunning new pool with 3m wraparound deck to keep the elephants at bay.

🗓️ Best Time to Visit: Dry Season (June to October) is ideal for game viewing as animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot. The pleasant weather adds to the experience. The Wet Season (November to May) brings lush landscapes, perfect for birdwatching and photography.
