Tarangire National Park

Great scenery, full with huge baobabs, and all the elephants you ever dreamed of seeing.

I spent 3 hours on safari in Tanzania, and saw a pair of cheetahs (and recorded their sweet cry to one another), lions, ostrich mating dance, a gazelle 20 feet up in a tree (killed and dragged up there by a leopard!) and a lion kill!!!

Had to rush through, got bitten by Tse Tses (tzetze); late in the afternoon; not much wildlife.

Vast, better for less known animals as well as the main ones.

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.

our lodge was in with the animals and I felt more a part of life in the park.

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.

We spent two days in Tarangire National park searching for the famous tree lions. We didn't spot any lions in tree's but did see a Male Lion mating a number of times. We also got up close and personal with a lot of Elephants including viewing baby elephants. The two camps we stayed at in Tarangire where also a highlight. Both luxury tented campsites which really gave you the impression of being out in the wilderness amongst the animals. Would highly recommend the Kikoti Safari Camp.
