Tarangire National Park

The Land of Giants

Tarangire National Park is one of Tanzania’s hidden gems less crowded than its famous neighbors but just as rich in wildlife and natural beauty. Known for its iconic baobab trees and large herds of elephants, Tarangire offers a truly unique safari experience. The park covers around 2,850 square kilometers and is part of a larger ecosystem that supports a diverse range of animals, especially during the dry season when wildlife concentrates around the Tarangire River.

The park is home to impressive numbers of elephants, often seen in large family groups wandering the savannah. But Tarangire is also a haven for other wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, and over 300 species of birds making it a paradise for both photographers and birdwatchers. The landscape is a mix of grasslands, swamps, and ancient trees, offering a beautiful and varied backdrop for game drives.

What sets Tarangire apart is its sense of tranquility. Because it sees fewer tourists than the Serengeti or Ngorongoro, you get a more intimate, off-the-beaten-path safari feel. It’s a perfect destination for those seeking both adventure and a bit of quiet ideal as a first stop on a northern circuit itinerary or a stand-alone escape into the wild.

We, Serengeti Wildebeest Safaris, we love sharing Tarangire’s untamed charm with our guests. Our guides know the park inside and out and will help you uncover its hidden stories and secret spots. From up-close elephant encounters to peaceful sunset drives, Tarangire is where your safari journey can truly begin.
