Tarangire National Park, a hidden gem in Tanzania’s northern safari circuit, is a breathtaking wilderness renowned for its vast elephant herds and iconic baobab-dotted landscapes. Covering approximately 2,850 square kilometers (1,100 square miles), Tarangire is named after the Tarangire River, which serves as a vital water source for wildlife, especially during the dry season. Located just a few hours from Arusha, this diverse and less-crowded park offers an authentic safari experience filled with incredible wildlife encounters and stunning scenery.
A safari in Tarangire promises exceptional game viewing, with the park hosting one of the highest concentrations of elephants in Africa. Large herds of up to 300 elephants can be spotted roaming freely among ancient baobab trees, while other iconic species such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests thrive in the park’s savannah and riverine woodlands. The park is also a paradise for bird lovers, with over 500 species recorded, including colorful kingfishers, kori bustards, and the striking lilac-breasted roller
