Discover Tarangire National Park

Located just a few hours' drive from Arusha, Tarangire National Park is one of Tanzania’s best-kept safari secrets. Known for its giant baobab trees, large elephant herds, and dramatic landscapes, Tarangire offers an authentic, less-crowded safari experience — perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and first-time visitors alike.

Why Visit Tarangire National Park?

✔ Home of the Giants
Tarangire is famous for having one of the largest elephant populations in Tanzania. During the dry season (June–October), hundreds of elephants gather around the Tarangire River, making for incredible viewing.

✔ Iconic Baobabs
The park is dotted with ancient baobab trees, some over a thousand years old. These towering natural wonders create a stunning contrast to the open plains and make for jaw-dropping photography.

✔ Birdwatching Paradise
With over 550 bird species, Tarangire is one of the top birding destinations in East Africa. Look out for colorful lilac-breasted rollers, yellow-collared lovebirds, and the striking martial eagle.

✔ Unique Wildlife Encounters
Tarangire offers diverse wildlife including:

Lions, leopards, cheetahs
Giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and buffalos
Lesser-known species like fringed-eared oryx, generuk, and eland

The park is also one of the few places in northern Tanzania where you might spot pythons climbing trees!
