probably my favourite one, relatively small and not as crowded as Serengeti or Ngorongoro. mostly famous for the elephants, but we have seen there much more, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, just to name a few.

Park is near Arusha. Beautiful park that is a must for Elephant lovers. Some times of the year are better than others for viewing. Abundance of Baobab trees is a wonderful sight.

What makes Tarangire special is your guaranteed to see lots of wildlife. More then enough elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, monkeys, and more. When I visited in October was just past the rainy season and the weather was perfect. The rugged terrain there seems to help contain the animals to the park. The dirt roads are also well placed taking you near great watering holes and the road. The park also has great facilities at the entrance and lunch service was available. The park was not crowded but did have a steady stream of groups coming and going.

You'll find all kind of wild animals in Tarangire: not just some of them, but an abundance! We've seen the big five and many more. I was very impressed when I saw the lions (incl. the corpse of a water buffalo a lion had been eating), baobab trees with vultures, a cheetah, elephants, giraffes, impalas, zebras, wildebeests, warthogs, dikdiks, hornbills, ostriches, monkeys, etc.

I had read that November was not the best time to visit most parks in Tanzania but was pleasantly surprised. I saw pretty much every animal i had been told I could see at this park in reasonable numbers. The weather was dry and sunny with a cool breeze during drives. The guide was amazing, the staff at the company Sandland Tours were an example in superuior customer service even in the most basic conditions and I wished I could be on safari forever.

A wildlife photographer’s paradise, Tanzania’s Tarangire National Park is often overlooked in favor of the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater, making it feel like the park is your private reserve. Only 75 miles from Arusha, our first itinerary stop became a favorite during our 3-night stay at Oliver’s Camp with Natural Habitat, true glamping.
It was the only park where we could do a walking safari and night drive, both exciting adventures I recommend. Our guides were knowledgeable, safety-minded and great spotters. It is also the park to see the magnificent Baobab tree. Back in the Jeep, elephant families, lions with cubs, wildebeest, giraffe, warthogs, cape buffalo, mongoose and herds of zebra made every turn in the road a new photo op. Larger birds like ostrich, vultures, hornbills, Secretary bird and the Kori bustard as well as the smaller multi-colored Lilac breasted roller, African hoopoe or iridescent superb starling kept my camera busy. A greener park in late August

than most, Tarangire’s river supplies water to numerous animals and birds. Hang out on the parallel road and you will be rewarded.

My fiancé and I are in our 30's from New York City and recently took a two week tour to Kenya and Tanzania. What an incredible life experience that everyone must absolutely do in their lifetime - and better sooner rather than later. You will feel like you're living in a National Geographic video. Just make sure you go the right time of year. Children will absolutely love it - just make sure they're old enough to remember it. In Kenya we went to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Samburu Game Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park and the highlight, the incredible Maasai Mara to witness the great migration. In Tanzania we went to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Tarangire was our first stop in Tanzania after Kenya and our first reaction was "whoa, there are a lot of elephants here. And they are BIG" - they owned the place. We saw baby and adolescent elephants play fighting which was a highlight. Plenty of other animals as well - we saw

lions, leopards lazing about in the trees, several bird species, zebras and wildebeest. We really enjoyed our time in Tarangire and highly encourage you to visit.
