Stayed in a lodge in the park I wish we would have stayed a day just in the lodge alone, again food was excellent.

I can't remember everything we saw there, but I do remember a very positive experience. It's not far behind the Serengeti.

We watched leopards hunting from the comfort of our tent terrace!

This was my favorite park. It seemed a little out of the way (maybe it was the direction we came from). We were one of only a handful of vehicles in the park while there. We must have seen a thousand elephants, they were just everywhere. We also saw a cheetah, impala, zebra, giraffe, a cobra going across the road and tons of birds. I don't even like birds and I found myself really interested in seeking them out here. They were very unusual and again, we didn't see the same ones anywhere else. We stayed at Tarangire River Camp which was perfect. We were actually the only people there due to the season. The staff treated us like family, food was great and we got to hear elephants and lions at night.

Tarangire may be “the” place in the world to visit if you are interested in elephants. In two short game drives through this park we saw more elephants, in larger families, and closer to the roads, than in the rest of our safari combined. They say that the lion is the king of the jungle... but even lions are cautious around elephants.
Elephants are not the only attraction here. We saw giraffe, zebra, hippos, lions, baboons... truly, most of the wildlife in the other parks are also present here. But they are often found interacting with the elephants, because in Tarangire, elephants are the star.
We discovered that many of the tourists who were doing shorter safaris than ours were skipping their drive through Tarangire. I cannot stress this enough: that is a huge mistake.
Great to see especially baobabs and elephants, among others. Lovely scenaries along the river. Quite impressive some accomodations inside the park, because of the marvellous locations where they have been built. I'd stay not less than 2 days.
