Electronic payment only at park gates. Cash not accepted. Bring Visa/Mastercard or set up M-Pesa in advance.
Best viewing: early morning (6-9am) and late afternoon (4-6pm). Midday heat makes animals rest in shade.
Bring binoculars. Tarangire is famous for birds - over 550 species. Also great for spotting tree-climbing lions.
Keep windows closed when elephants approach. Give elephants right of way - they can charge if threatened. Never get out of vehicle.
