Famous for its tree-climbing lions, I only saw them on the ground. This is where I saw my first-ever leopard which was quite a thrill! Accommodations and food at Tarangire Sopa Lodge was great. Lodge was

less animals then serengetti .. so if you are doing northern circuit serengetti is a better option .. but here huge herds of elephants ( we spotted a group of about 40) are spotted which i doubt is spotted anywhere else.. giraffes leopards can also be seen .. it can be a prelude to serengetti and ngorongoro but ceratinly not worth after it

Tarangire for Walking Safaris and Night Drives
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.

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.

Must visit if you're looking for Elephant encounter
This was the first park of our Safari Itinerary. The weather was perfect for this trip - cloudy overcast with some occasional sprinkles, but due to heavy rains prior few days some of the roads in the park were closed, so we didn't get a chance to visit all planned areas, but those that we have visited were amazing. I was expecting a little bit less folks/tourists there, but this is subjective. We've got to see giraffes, gazelles, monkeys, ostriches. But the most memorable encounter was with the herd of elephants, counting about 20. They crossed dirt road we were on and you can see all of them from few feet distance - amazing.

Elephants and baobabs galore - there was something to see every minute we were out on the road.
Parts of the park were flooded after the heavy rains of November and early December but the accessible areas were very varied in terrain and scenery. It is not a very big park and you can see parts that will already feel familiar on your second drive.

the Tarangire Lodge within the National Park - it is a simple but beautiful lodge with a huge outdoor seating area overlooking the river. It is on a hill and so you can see for miles around. Come equipped with binoculars of course. Good food even for vegetarians. This lodge is not as big as some so there was a cosy feeling in the dining room.Our trip had been organised through Shah Tours in Moshi as we did a package for Kilimanjaro, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The safari car was quite good with the open roof but these seem to be standard with most companies that provide such game drives. The guide could have been better but again there are so many local national park guides that are well informed. The drive from Moshi via Arusha to Tarangire was remarkable too - you see so many Masai dressed in the most colourful cloth and little children splashing about in the water.

A very recommendable park with a great variety of animals and landscapes. With its river at the heart of the park it offers also a very scenic landscape. We didn't regret it at all visiting this beautiful park.
Great Introduction to Wildlife in Tanzania
Tarangire was our first Safari of the week and was a great introduction of things to come. Visting at the end of May and just after the wet season the grass was long and lush so a little difficult to see the smaller animals. We almost immediately came across a family of baboons who were very active and climbing up and down "their" tree. Later we saw our first elephants but from a distance which was still great to see. Further on we met a lone elephant who got very close to our vehicle but was not aggressive in any way. We didn't see any big cats on this day visit but plenty of bird life to include superb starlins, hornbill, hammerkopf and love birds. Also plentiful were the majestic giraffe. Views from the small picnic site were beautiful overlooking the river, where we later saw a family of elephants drinking
