A beautiful park with lots of elephants. It seemed a little busier than other parks we visited but we saw a lot and very close up!

My Favorite park in Tanzania

This park has a great scenery, and wonderful wildlife. I would have enjoyed spending more time in this park over a few others we visited. Our group also visited Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Ngoro Ngoro Crater and thought Tarangire was our favorite. The accommodations were very nice, and our guide Alfred was the gem of our trip. He was very knowable on the wildlife and was a part of the family by the end of our 7 day safari. In Tarangire were able to see the leopards very close up and that was quite a treat. The elephants on the plain were wonderful against the back drop of great mountains and Boabab trees. I would recommend visiting Tarangire to anyone traveling to Tanzania.

When we were there, the flies were worse than anywhere else on the Safari. We have lots of bugs back home in Canada, but because we had not experienced this before, it threw us off a bit. Otherwise, it was a beautiful place to see wildlife, especially the elephants.

The main purpose on tarangire is to see the baobabs, birds and elephants. The scenary is gorgious and the infraestructure is excelent. You can choose a lodge to stay in the park if you want to spend more time.

Away from maddening crowd. The hospitality at Mawe Ninga Camp (run by some local group) was superb. Not very expensive.

Tanrangire National Park is also a great place to visit, has much diversity, and here you can see elephant with reddish mud on them, for the soil is reddish in color. It’s known for its large elephant population. I also believe that because of the Tarangire River it’s very good in the dry season as well.

In one day we managed to see four out of the big five and a lot of other animals as well. The scenery is quite good and due to the fact that there are a lot of hills you can easily get a good view over the savannah.

Best place for large herds of Elephants in Africa. If you can stand tzetze flies you will love the place.

Famous for the Baobab trees and also a great number of elephants during the dry season, everything here happens around the Tarangiry river. Close to Arusha gives easy acces and good for family's with children.
