Tarangire National Park

Elephants, baobabs and slow drives along the Tarangire River.
Tarangire National Park
THE PLACE, AT YOUR PACE

A sense of place.

Tarangire is a natural starting point for a northern safari. River valleys and baobab-dotted woodland give the park its character, with broad views opening onto seasonal wetlands. During drier months, wildlife gathers closer to remaining water; after rain, the landscape turns green and the experience changes.

WHY COME HERE

What makes it different.

Come for the elephants and stay for the landscape. The river, woodland and Silale wetland area provide varied wildlife habitats, making a longer visit worthwhile for travellers who enjoy watching behaviour and looking for birds.

Wildlife and baobab country

Tarangire has a character of its own: broad baobab trunks, sandy tracks and the river threading through the landscape. Pause between sightings to notice the birdlife and the changing light among the trees.

  • Elephants and family herds
  • Giraffes among the acacias
  • Zebras and grazing antelope
  • Lions and other predators
  • Baobab silhouettes
  • Riverbank birdlife
