An incredible view over the flat lands of the Tarangire National Park is waiting for each visitor of "Safari hill". Here is the cradle of mankind, but the animals are still ruling this particular part of the old world. The 83 acre titled farm is exactly situated between the National Park and the recently established Wildlife Management Area and therefore "Safari hill" does not fall under the jurisdictions of this well protected game area which means you are not part of any fees or restrictions. The photograph displays the view Westwards in direction Tarangire which starts immediately behind the dry grass plains, you find the highest elephant population worldwide. Tarangire is famous for its elephant herds which can reach up to 700 elephants! Forget about doing any agriculture there, because their trunk catches the smell of food crops via kilometers! Please do not miss the latest self explaining video!

Nevertheless very close to the property is also surface water available, but there is a high traffic of animals! As soon as the first rain falls the huge herds of animals are migrating towards to the good grazing areas. In the dry season a solar pump powered bore hole guarantees you a steady clean water supply. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The plain part of the property has even due to the very slight slope and the single standing tree pattern a good view through the bush. No elephant, no zebra neither a giraffe nor a lion will pass without you haven't seen the game in particular when you rest on top of the hill. |

Green like the tropical rain forest is the savannah during the raining season. In these days the animals are spread everywhere and not anymore concentrated around the water holes. On the horizon just before the mountain range shimmers the water of the famous Lake Manyara National Park.
