About Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park spans over 2,850 square kilometers and is named after the Tarangire River, which serves as the park’s lifeline during the dry season. The river attracts large numbers of wildlife, particularly elephants, making it one of the best places in Tanzania to see these majestic animals in great numbers. Tarangire’s landscapes are varied, ranging from open grasslands to dense bush, and are punctuated by towering baobab trees that dominate the horizon. The park is less visited than its northern circuit neighbors, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, providing a more peaceful and intimate safari experience.
Why Visit Tarangire National Park?
Elephant Paradise: Tarangire is famous for its massive elephant herds. During the dry season, you can witness hundreds of elephants congregating near the Tarangire River, creating one of the most iconic safari scenes in Africa.
Baobab Trees: The park is home to some of Africa’s largest and oldest baobab trees. These enormous trees, known as the “upside-down trees,” provide a stunning backdrop to the wildlife and are a significant feature of the park’s unique landscape.
Rich Wildlife: In addition to elephants, Tarangire hosts a wide variety of animals including lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, and buffalos. The park is also home to several rarer species like the fringe-eared oryx, greater kudu, and gerenuk.
Birdwatcher’s Paradise: With over 550 bird species, Tarangire is one of the best birdwatching destinations in East Africa. From colorful lovebirds and hornbills to larger species like ostriches and vultures, bird enthusiasts will be spoiled for choice.
When to Visit
The best time to visit Tarangire National Park is during the dry season (June to October), when wildlife congregates around the Tarangire River and other water sources. The wet season (November to May) is equally rewarding, with lush green landscapes and excellent birdwatching opportunities. While the park is accessible year-round, the dry season offers the best wildlife viewing, especially for elephants.
