Welcome to Tanzania Destinations
Welcome to Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is one of Tanzania’s most underrated treasures, offering a rich and intimate Tanzania Safari experience far from the crowds. Known for its vast landscapes dotted with majestic baobab trees and sweeping savannas, the park comes alive during the dry season (June to October) when it hosts one of the country’s largest concentrations of elephants. Watching entire herds gather at the Tarangire River to drink and play is a truly unforgettable sight.
But it’s not just about elephants—Tarangire is also home to lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and more than 500 bird species, making it a paradise for both wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Its unique landscape, quieter atmosphere, and seasonal swamps attract migratory animals and offer excellent game viewing.
If you're on a classic game drive, exploring the bush on foot, or enjoying a sundowner with a view, Tarangire National Park offers a raw, authentic connection with nature. Come and experience the charm of this lesser-known gem where Tanzania’s wild heart beats strong and beautifully untamed.
Travel
Best Time To Visit
The Best Time to visit Tarangire National Park is during the dry season from June to October, when animals gather in large numbers around the Tarangire River—one of the few reliable water sources in the area. This makes for spectacular game viewing, especially of elephants, big cats, and large herbivores, all against the backdrop of iconic baobab trees and golden savannas. Whether you're after dramatic wildlife encounters or serene natural beauty, Tarangire has something magical year-round.
- January – February: A lovely time to spot newborn animals and lush green landscapes after the short rains.
- June – July: Wildlife viewing is at its peak, with clear skies and animals concentrated around shrinking water sources—ideal for photographers and safari-goers.
- April – May: These are the wetter months and considered low season. While some areas may be muddy, the scenery is lush and green, birdlife is abundant, and you’ll enjoy fewer tourists and reduced lodge rates.
Wild Life
- Elephant Herds: Witness some of Tanzania’s largest elephant populations gathering around the Tarangire River—an awe-inspiring sight.
