Tarangire National Park Nightlife

Don’t come to Tarangire and the Safari Lodge if you’re in search of lively nightlife. There is no disco or night-club, and the only bar is a casual affair with a few comfortable chairs. But if you like the “great outdoors” you’ll love the evenings here. Take a late afternoon game drive to view the elephants and other animals coming down to the river for their last long drink of the day. Watch the sun set behind the baobob trees.

Then return to the lodge, grab a cold beer at the bar and settle down on the terrace to watch night fall over the park and, if you’re lucky as we were, the moon rise over it. For dinner there may be a barbeque on the terrace, or traditional African dishes in the restaurant, and if you’re not in a hurry to retire to your tent you can finish the day with more drinks, compare notes with other guests about the animals seen that day, and make plans with your guide for the next day’s game viewing.

Dress Code: Casual clothing is just fine, and you’ll want a fairly warm top once the sun goes down.
