Tarangire National Park

It is highly advised that you stay for a couple of days in Tarangire during your safari, particularly in the south of the park, which offers a less crowded safari experience and allows you to appreciate a real African sense of Tanzania’s countryside.

The Tarangire National Park, Tanzania’s sixth largest national park, covers 2,600 square kilometers and is known for its massive elephant herds and mini-wildlife migration that occurs during the dry season, when over 250,000 animals enter the park.

The park situated between the Masai Steppe meadows to the south east and the Great Rift Valley lakes to the north and west, just off the popular northern Tanzania Safari Circuit. The permanent River Tarangire, located in the northern portion of Tarangire, is recognized as the park’s lifeline, especially during the dry season when most of the region is completely dry.
