Tarangire is one of Tanzania’s most picturesque parks which offers traditional safari experiences. On your safari, you will see the Tarangire River, tall Baobab trees, and vast herds of elephants. Stay here for two nights to explore the park’s more isolated areas including a guided walking safari within the different landscapes in the park.
Widely regarded as Tanzania’s best-kept safari secret, the Tarangire National Park was established in 1970, taking in more of the larger Tarangire environment than its predecessor. Covering an area of over 2850 km2 (1100 mi2), or almost the size of the states of Rhode Island (USA) and Luxembourg (EU), Tarangire is Tanzania’s sixth-largest national park.
The Tarangire River, the main source of life in the park, flows through the reserve from south to north, gaining its name from the park. Although there are many warthogs in the park, “Tarangire” is claimed to mean “winding river of warthogs,” and for good reason. The park offers a lot more attractions.
The park is a famous destination that is sometimes overlooked due to its little deviation of almost 35 km from the popular Northern Safari Circuit that heads Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti consecutively.
It sees a significant decrease in the number of tourists, which often results in less crowding when wildlife is sighted and gives visitors a better sensation of being in the environment because Tarangire has an abundance of two of nature’s giants the African elephant and cape buffalo standing out among its brethren.
Birdlife is often overlooked in this park, with more than 55o bird species recorded from the park it stand out from the famous Serengeti national park.
