Elephants everywhere and a true magical kingdom

especially in Tarangire. After awhile you see so many that they become almost common place, even showing up at hotels to roam the grounds. Our Guide, Gabriel from Maasai Magic Safaris was so knowledgable about animal behavior and obviously loves what he does. He was very patient for this photographer to get the shots I needed and made sure that my trip met all my expectations.

We saw lions, leopards, water buffalo, elephants and zebra within 10 meters of our windows at Tarangire. We saw more birds and other wildlife up close and bigger variety at Tarangire in October and November in two consecutive years than the Masai Mara or Ngorongoro Crater. Make sure you check the wildlife migration patterns before you go to any national park to make sure you are booking the right season. We saw lions stalking kudu and other tourists we spoke with saw lions kill zebras. We saw loots of abay elephants up close.

We would have loved to spend more time in Tarangire. We encountered fewer vehicles and had great opportunities to watch elephants and meerkats for an extended time without much disturbance.
our lodge was in with the animals and I felt more a part of life in the park.

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.
A great place to view Elephants up close and personal and some great safari camps!
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.

Tarangire National Park is a fantastic safari destination, known for its large elephant herds and picturesque landscapes dotted with baobab trees. The park offers a more intimate experience compared to other major parks, with diverse wildlife and excellent birdwatching opportunities, making it a must-visit in Tanzania’s northern circuit.
