You pull away from the lodge before dawn, the Land Cruiser's engine low and steady, and the park unfurls in a warm, wide light. Tarangire's plains open like a stage: elephant herds moving in careful columns, gaunt baobabs casting long shadows, and distant termite mounds punctuating the grass. The Tarangire River threads the scene, drawing life and drama to its banks.
