Despite being close to them, <a href=\"\/vi\/national-park-tarangire-national-park-safari\">Tarangire National Park<\/a> does not have the same star power as the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/v\/national-park-serengeti-national-park\" target=\"_blank\">Serengeti<\/a> or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ngorongoro Crater (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/v\/national-park-ngorongoro-national-park\" target=\"_blank\">Ngorongoro Crater<\/a>, but the park rewards those that visit anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/i\/africa-safari#cities=14149,operator=10847\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Safaris in Africa<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Against a backdrop of towering baobab trees and acacia woodlands, large herds of elephants roam the golden-brown plains and marshy grasslands. And this precious wildlife spectacle found in Tarangire has a way of bringing up the past &#8212; in a good way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI did a project on elephants in grade two or three and seeing elephants in this park, which is renowned for being home to them was like entering that childhood state again. You stand back and think: I fell in love with this when I was younger and now I finally get to experience it.\u201d Calderwood goes onto explain that \u201cSeeing how they move and interact is the most interesting part. Witnessing this creature go from something you once saw in an issue of National Geographic to a moving breathing thing &#8212; it\u2019s hard to explain. Until you see an elephant\u2019s eyelash up close, you don\u2019t really understand how magnificent they are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"450\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Elephants-in-the-open-plains.jpg\" alt=\"a number of elephants graze in tall grasses beside trees\" class=\"wp-image-21809 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Elephants-in-the-open-plains.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Elephants-in-the-open-plains-434x287.jpg 434w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/450;\" \/><figcaption>Tarangire National Park is renowned for its large elephant herds | \u00a9 Rebecka Calderwood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Calderwood explored the wilderness of Africa\u2019s national parks on an overland trip with Dragoman, which is an exciting experience in itself. Dragoman has been in the business of <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">overlanding<\/g> since 1981. The point of this self-reliant adventure, where travellers are responsible for managing things like setting up camp and cooking, is for the journey to have as much meaning as the destination, and to take the road less travelled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overland vehicles usually travel off-road, for long distances, and to remote areas that would be hard to come by otherwise. This style of holiday piques the interest of explorers looking to go that extra mile and eventually return home with an unusual and fulfilling experience. Commercial overlanding first began in the 1960s, and it won&#8217;t come as a surprise that Africa is where it really took off in those early days. With seemingly endless landscapes and wildlife, it&#8217;s the perfect setting for overlanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"450\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Drogoman-Overland-Truck.jpg\" alt=\"a large orange truck is in the forefront of a landscape with a beautiful solo mountain in the background\" class=\"wp-image-21811 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Drogoman-Overland-Truck.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Drogoman-Overland-Truck-434x287.jpg 434w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/450;\" \/><figcaption>Africa is the perfect destination for overlanding | \u00a9 Rebecka Calderwood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a documentary on the Masaai people sparked an interest in this region of Africa for Calderwood, hoping to learn more about their culture she started looking into tours and chose <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">overlanding<\/g> for a more immersive experience. \u201cOverlanding makes you feel more involved, and like you\u2019re part of something, and with Dragoman specifically, that experience is shared with a community. You start the trip off with strangers, but by the end, it feels more like a family road trip.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout Calderwood\u2019s time in Africa, she found the group bonding through their discovery of animals, exchange of knowledge and shared <g class=\"gr_ gr_10 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"10\" data-gr-id=\"10\">responsibility<\/g> of managing the shifting campsites. \u201cPeople know things which you can learn from and that gives you insight into them. There was this one guy who was a vet, but he knew a lot about vegetation and plants. He knew what certain trees were and what plants could heal, but he read a lot as well and would tell me about those books. These little things would spark conversations. You\u2019ll be driving along for hours, something will resonate with someone, they\u2019ll make a comment, and it becomes a discussion. Africa\u2019s incredible environment gave us an opportunity to stop feeling like strangers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/best-safari-destinations-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Best Safari Destinations in the World<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Elephants were not the only species Calderwood saw in their natural habitat. Many of the creatures she had contemplated doing a project on during childhood leapt to life as their overland truck wove its way across a landscape that changed from dusty flat plains to rainforests, modern cities and woodlands. Memorable scenes from Disney&#8217;s <em>The Lion King<\/em> manifested at Amboseli National Park (the incredible view of the freestanding mountain of Kilimanjaro) and at Ngorongoro Crater where Calderwood\u2019s group was surrounded by hundreds of wildebeest and their little ones. But even she was surprised by what made her most curious during the trip: birds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are so many bird species in Africa. So many different kinds, both big and small and they are literally everywhere. Flying above you, flying across the horizon, or hovering by your truck, resting in trees or on the backs of elephants and rhinos, they really are everywhere! I kept muddling up the names, but I loved the little starlings that would always be around. It\u2019s one of the things I think about now back at home.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bird-in-tree-in-africa.jpg\" alt=\"a small fluffy brown and beige yellow bird sits in a tree\" class=\"wp-image-21914 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bird-in-tree-in-africa.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bird-in-tree-in-africa-434x289.jpg 434w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/453;\" \/><figcaption>Calderwood was surprised by how fascinated she was by all the birds during her trip | \u00a9 Rebecka Calderwood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing Calderwood discovered back at home was her increased patience. \u201cTo overland in Africa and enjoy it, you need an open mind. There are things out of your control. I\u2019m not going to get upset because I only saw a rhino two miles away and didn\u2019t get to see one up close because that animal has its own priorities. You can put things in motion that will allow you to see that rhino, but it\u2019s not guaranteed. You can apply these lessons back at home.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My safari experience gave me chance to learn how to be in the moment and mindful. It gave me a chance to reconnect with my inner child again and be bewildered at things without restraint. I didn\u2019t really get to be with the Masaai people as much as I would have liked, but in the end, it didn\u2019t matter. When you see baby elephants play in the mud in Tarangire National Park, nothing else really matters. I&#8217;d forgotten how much I loved them as a kid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/deals\/safari\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Safari deals<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember the animal projects you did as a child on creatures that lived out in the wild?
