Tarangire provides a wonderful spectacle of savanna environment and a meeting point for the mightiest components of the African wilderness. One of the less known game park in Tanzania. It is a good choice for travelers who wish to encounter more animals and less tourists while on safari. The Tarangire National Park is known as a wonderful birding destination and also features large numbers of game, particularly during the dry season, when the Tarangire River is the only source of water in the area. The landscape is of particular interest due to the high number of monumental baobab trees.
Why Visit the Tarangire National Park?
- Embark on a walking safari and marvel at ancient baobabs.
- Discover hundreds of ancient rock paintings in the vicinity of Kolo.
- Tarangire is famous for having herds of up to 300 elephants.
- Explore the park at Night for a unique experience
Only a few wildlife sanctuaries anywhere on the continent are able to offer characteristically African natural environments of the kind to be seen throughout the park. An often-overlooked gem. Its marshes, which dry out into grassy fields during the dry season, draw great herds of elephant, buffalo, antelope and other plains game.
Lion and other predators are frequently spotted. The park boasts over 500 species of birds, including some species endemic to Tanzania. Away from the busier north, the southern end of the park is home to camps that specialize in walking safaris, and night game drives allowing their guests to immerse their senses in the experience of exploring the African bush on foot.
