About Tarangire National Park
Iconic baobab landscapes and massive elephant herds in the dry season.
Tarangire National Park is one of northern Tanzania’s most underrated safari gems famous for its ancient baobab trees, seasonal river, and remarkable concentration of elephants.
During the dry season, the Tarangire River becomes the park’s main water source, attracting enormous numbers of animals from surrounding areas. Herds of elephants gather in spectacular numbers, often seen moving gracefully beneath towering baobab trees.
The park’s landscapes are incredibly distinctive rolling savannahs, swamps, acacia woodlands, and giant baobabs create scenery unlike anywhere else in Tanzania.
Wildlife is abundant and diverse. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, and numerous antelope species thrive throughout the park.
Tarangire is also a paradise for bird lovers, with hundreds of bird species inhabiting its wetlands and forests.
Compared to nearby Serengeti and Ngorongoro, Tarangire feels quieter and less crowded, offering a peaceful and authentic safari atmosphere.
