Tarangire National Park
Day 30 & 31 – 8 th & 9 th Jully 2019 The trip from Arusha to Tarangire was absolutely facinating. Being Masaai territory, you expected only to see the Masaai tending their herds. But our journey co-incided with a special cattle market in the Mgagau area. It is here where people come and buy and sell cattle, goats and sheep for either for butcheries, milking and farming. Mgagau Cattle Market And, of course, some Masaai are too lazy to walk their goat to the market! A Masaai taking his goat to market Tarangire National Park thus far has been the best National Park we have ever visited. Not a large variety of game, but massive herds of zebra, buffalo, elephant and giraffe. Also, huge prides of lion. Upon arrival at the gate, the large number of tour operated vehicles was overwhelming. This is possibly forerunner of what we can expect in the Serengeti earlier next week.
