Overview
Tarangire National Park is a hidden gem in northern Tanzania, known for its massive elephant herds, iconic baobab trees, and diverse wildlife. Covering 2,850 square kilometers (1,100 square miles), it offers a unique safari experience with fewer crowds compared to Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
The park is famous for its large concentration of elephants, often seen in herds of up to 300 individuals, especially during the dry season when they gather around the Tarangire River, the park’s lifeline. Alongside elephants, visitors can spot lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, buffalo, wildebeest, zebras, and over 550 bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.
Tarangire’s landscape is equally stunning, with vast savannas, swamps, and ancient baobab trees, some of which are over 1,000 years old.
