    If you are traveling by car from any point within Tarangire National Park, begin by exiting the park through the main entrance at the Tarangire National Park gate. Once you are out of the park, head south on the A104 highway towards Simanjiro. Continue on the A104 for approximately 30 kilometers until you reach the junction for Terrat (look for signs indicating Terrat). Turn left onto the road that leads to Terrat (this is a smaller road, so be attentive). Follow this road for about 10 kilometers, and you will arrive at Osiligi Maasai Boma located in Lemkuta A Terrat. Ensure your vehicle has enough fuel before your journey, as fuel stations are limited in this area.

  • Public Transportation

    For those using public transportation, start by taking a matatu (shared taxi) from the nearest town or village in Tarangire National Park towards Simanjiro. The matatus usually depart from designated taxi stands. Upon reaching Simanjiro, you will need to take another matatu or a local bus heading towards Terrat. Confirm with the driver that they will take you to Terrat. Once in Terrat, you may need to walk or hire a local motorcycle taxi (boda-boda) to reach Osiligi Maasai Boma, which is located about 2 kilometers from the main road. Make sure to carry some local currency (Tanzanian Shillings) for your transport fares.
