Tarangire is a great introduction to seeing lots of elephants. Last trip we encountered Leopards too, which was a great thrill for everyone.

Excellent place for elephants and ungulates, the great Baobob trees which are common here provide a great experience. Stunning in fact.

The review below is the personal opinion of Wolf and not that of SafariBookings.

Not up to expectations

I remembered this park as a highlight of former safaris with an amazing variety of wildlife. This time it was disappointing, not only on account of lush vegetation. The roads are simply terrible, an offence for the drivers. The shabby appearance already of the gateway gives the impression that this park is badly managed.

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.

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.
