Tarangire National Park

My favorite National park. Great trees and senery lots of different sences. Many elephant and other animals. Many birds. Lovely lodge at Olivers camp.Perfect

The perfect African safari

We enjoyed a sunset and a sunrise safari in Tarangire National Park and both were excellent. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and entertaining. He tailored his approach with us depending on our interests and told us so many stories about his time as a guide! Our safari jeep was great and seated six comfortably, not that we sat down for much of it.

We spent one night at a campsite in the park, which was basic but comfortable enough, and we heard lions roaring nearby to our tents as we slept. The food was great, it would be impossible to go hungry. We saw only a handful of other tourists whilst we were there.

Highlights were the number of elephants (we saw so many!), the baobab trees, extensive bird life, a trio of cheetahs and driving alongside a charging herd of wildebeest.

Many elephants reside in Tarangire . small can be observed taking their first steps , surrounded by caring females.
Beware of snakes and tsetse flies.

Great Park, I sure need to come back

Only after a few meters that you have entered the park, you will stumble across elephants. There is no doubt about that. The park is huge and the 1,5 day we visited we only could cover a bit. It was out first game drive in Tanzania and within one day we spotted of course zebra's and gnoes, elephants and monkeys. But what about a wild dog eating of a dead gnoe near the road. Baby elephants near our car without the herd getting nervous. Several leopards in trees. Great lunch spots. Many people visit Tarangire Wildlife Park and it is more than worht it. The park is so big and that it will not feel over crowded. There are all sorts and sizes of accommodation so you can decide for your self what suits you best. The park is very versatile in its surroundings with open field, bush, rivers, savanne, hills etc. Definitely a place it would come again.

Tarangire is a wonderful place to see elephants in particular. I saw countless elephant herds with newborns, as well as elephants mourning over a dead carcass. I was also incredibly fortunate to see a pack of extremely rare wild dogs lounging in the sun.

The small birds were such a bonus. Neither I nor my wife expected to be that impressed by the birds, but they were amazing. Watching the elephants interact was easily the highlight of the trip, though. Loved seeing the little babies play in the mud. I was not expecting the variety of terrain, and that really made Tarangire unique.

So many elephants

We stayed at the Tarangire Safari Lodge--It was our favorite place to watch the animals at the river and around the tents. In addition the food was the best of all of the camps and lodges on our trip. The variety of animals as well as the trees made for interesting photography, One experience in particular deserves recognition. As we sat watching a lone of elephants cross the road, one suddenly turned and charged the vehicle and sunk both tusks into the grillwork. Our guide reacted immediately, powering into the elephant, thereby causing it to disengage. His expert actions surely avoided what might have been a disaster; we are deeply indebted to him.

One day in Tarangire

I spent a night and a day in the Tarangire National Park in late August. The park is very beautiful and rich in animal species. Countless are the presence of species of birds, in particular, I noted the inseparable black face. Also thick is the presence of elephants and wildebeest. And 'here, after so much time in Africa, I observed a pair of cheetahs. To note the beautiful view from the picnic area with the background of the Tarangire River at sunset. Must see.

Elephants and Baobab Trees

The reason i choose to go on Safari was my wish to see Elephants next to a Baobab Tree .
