An old baobab tree in the northern parts of Tarangire national park with a small concealed entrance on one side – leading into a chamber inside its bark. It is said to have been a hideout for poachers in the area, though now inhabited by the occasional bees or animal.

What to do there?Explore the cave, though best to ensure that there are no dangerous animals inside or nearby. Or have game drives of this or nearby areas.

Best time to visit?Any time of the year not in the rainy season of March to June, as the animals emigrate from the Tarangire river area – as other water sources become available.
