Welcome to Tarangire
Tarangire National Park, covering 2,850 km² in northern Tanzania, is the country’s sixth largest park and one of its most rewarding wildlife destinations. Often overshadowed by its more famous neighbours, Tarangire is a true gem — offering exceptional game viewing in a landscape dominated by ancient baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River.
The park is most famous for its extraordinary elephant concentrations — herds of up to 300 animals are regularly seen during the dry season when the river becomes the only water source for miles around. Tarangire also offers the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti, with lion, leopard, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, and a remarkable 550+ bird species. Its ancient baobab trees — some estimated to be 1,000 years old — create one of Africa’s most dramatic and photogenic landscapes.
