It boasts one of the highest concentrations of game in Tanzania, making every visit an exciting safari adventure.

Located in the Manyara Region, Tarangire National Park showcases Tanzania’s incredible wildlife diversity. Named after the Tarangire River, it plays a crucial role as a water source for the varied wildlife that inhabits the Tarangire Ecosystem, especially during the dry season. The park offers visitors an exceptional opportunity to experience nature in its purest form. Furthermore, the park’s dedication to conservation efforts makes it a destination for unparalleled natural experiences and a key player in preserving Tanzania’s natural heritage.

What to Expect

Prepare to be captivated by the Tarangire wildlife ecosystem. During the dry months, the park comes alive with the distant sounds of wildebeest and zebras gathering within Tarangire National Park, reuniting after dispersing across lush calving grounds during the wet season. It’s a park where you’ll witness elephants marking the plains like cattle, and the night is filled with the thrilling roars of lions and the barks of zebras, creating an unforgettable African safari experience.

Tarangire National Park is not just about wildlife. It’s a place where nature’s beauty unfolds in every corner. Covering 2,850 square kilometers, you’ll find Tarangire’s great stands of remarkable baobabs, leaving you in awe. The park’s beauty, from the remarkable baobabs to the vast grassy savannah plains, will inspire a sense of awe. The park is a tapestry of sun-blistered termite banks, immense swamps, and vast grassy savannah plains, each offering a unique and breathtaking view.

The Tarangire River splits the park into two sides. Its remarkable meandering course and steep riverbanks provide a dry-season draw for many stirring wildlife encounters. You might spot a pride of lions quenching their thirst, a herd of elephants bathing, or a leopard lurking in the trees. The river is a hotspot for wildlife activity, offering a chance for some truly memorable sightings.

During the rainy season, seasonal visitors spread over a 12,500 square mile range until they return to the park’s green plains and the park rivers call again. However, the Tarangire population of elephants can be easily encountered, whether in the wet or dry season. Tarangire’s swamps remain green year-round.
