Tarangire National Park

Tarangire

Scenically, Tarangire is the most beautiful wildlife park in northern Tanzania. The enormous national park has as its lifeline the wildlife-rich Tarangire River. The park is dominated by photogenic baobab and palm trees scattered throughout the hilly landscape. These trees can live for hundreds of years, and elephants use a special technique to extract moisture from them. In addition, the Tarangire River that runs through the park is the only other water source during this season. So you can imagine that this place is a paradise for large herds of up to 250 elephants. It provides unique opportunities to observe the interactions between elephant families. We will do a game drive through the park, depending on reported sightings of animals (mostly predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, as they are harder to spot). The herbivores, such as giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, etc., are plentiful and easy to spot in the park.

Camping at the nature campsite of this beautiful national park is an experience in itself. Fall asleep to the honking of elephants and the howling of hyenas in the background. In my opinion, this experience is definitely one of the Tanzania highlights!
