Tarangire National Park

Baobab silhouettes, elephant country and a river that shapes the rhythm of the bush.
Tarangire National Park — Tanzania

A closer look

Tarangire National Park takes its name from the Tarangire River. Baobabs, open woodland and riverine habitats give the park its distinctive character. Elephants are a particular attraction, while birds and other wildlife reward a slower look.

Spend time along the river and explore beyond a single game drive. Tarangire works well at the beginning or end of a northern Tanzania safari, with Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro highlands within the wider circuit.

Best time to visit

Drier months often concentrate wildlife near water. The greener season offers a different landscape and rewarding birdwatching.

Getting here

Road access from Arusha makes Tarangire a natural part of a northern circuit. Flight connections depend on the selected accommodation.
