Tarangire
National Park
Tarangire National Park, sprawling over approximately 2,850 square kilometres in northern Tanzania, is a wildlife lover’s paradise. Known for its dense wildlife population during the dry season, the park offers spectacular sights of vast herds of elephants and buffalos.
Its distinctive baobab-studded landscape and the life-giving Tarangire River add to its charm.
The park boasts one of the highest concentrations of elephants in Tanzania, with herds often seen meandering through the savannah and along the banks of the Tarangire River. This magnificent spectacle and views of the majestic baobab trees offer a surreal safari experience. Other species, like lions, leopards, and cheetahs, also inhabit the park, adding to its rich biodiversity.
Tarangire is a birdwatcher’s delight, hosting over 550 bird species, making it one of Africa’s premier ornithological destinations. The park is an avian paradise, with vibrant yellow-collared lovebirds flocking to large kori bustards. Swamps teem with migratory birds during the wet season. Despite its proximity to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, Tarangire holds its own with its diverse wildlife.
