Tarangire National Park | Tanzania Safari Guide

Overview

Many travellers visit only for a few hours or miss Tarangire altogether, leaving swathes of the park virtually untouched.

What makes Tarangire National Park worth the journey.

From August to October the park draws one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Tanzania: wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, buffalo, Thomson's gazelle, greater and lesser kudu, eland, leopard and cheetah.
Herds of up to 3,000 elephants in peak season, one of the largest concentrations in Africa.
Game drives through riverine forest, acacia woodland, ancient baobabs and endless rolling hills.
One of Tanzania's finest birding destinations, with over 500 species including flocks of yellow-collared lovebirds.
The real prize: rare sightings of dwarf mongoose, oryx or gerenuk.

Month by month, at a glance.

Wildlife in abundance as animals migrate in from surrounding areas
