Tarangire National Park, Tanzania

It is the vast number of baobabs that first capture the eye as you enter Tarangire National Park. The gently rolling countryside is dotted with these majestic trees, which seem to dwarf the animals that feed beneath them. The park is spectacular in the dry season when many of the migratory wildlife species come back to the permanent waters of Tarangire River.

Huge herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, eland and oryx gather to stay in Tarangire until the onset of the rains when they migrate again to good grazing areas. But this annual migration is threatened by increasing agriculture in the areas surrounding the Park.

For wilderness areas like Tarangire to survive, conservation measures must go hand in hand with appropriate rural development. The commitment shown by the Tanzanian government to promote these ideals is important. Tarangire National Park covers approximately 2600 square kilometers and, in the dry season, is second only to Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area in concentrations of wildlife.

Tarangire lies to the south of the large, open grass plains of southern Maasailand, and derives its name from the Tarangire River, which provides permanent water for wildlife in the area. When the Maasai Steepes dry up with the end of the long rains in June, migratory animals return to the Tarangire River, making Tarangire National Park second only to Ngorongoro in concerntration of wildlife

The most common animals found in the park include zebras, wildbeest, lions, leopards, waterbucks, giraffe, elephants, gazelles, impala, gerenuk, lesser kudu and the beautiful fringe-eared oryx. You may be lucky to spot the tree climbing python for which the park is famous for, or the kudu and the roan antelope which are rare species in Northern Tanzania. Over 300 species of birds have been recorded in Tarangire National Park.

Easy drive from Arusha or Lake Manyara and you can continue on to Ngorongor Crater and the Serengeti. You can also take a charter flight from Arusha and the Serengeti

Take guided walking safaris or a day drip to the Barabaig tribe's ancient Kola rock paintings. View our Tanzania Safari Itineraries or contact us with your queries
