Incredible Density of Elephants

4 / 5 4 /5

We were blown away by the number of elephants we saw during our trip to Tarangire National Park. We sat by a mud hole at one point and saw four different groups of elephants with 20-30 elephants per group come through and take a mud bath. In total we saw at least 200 elephants in just a few hours at the park. There are also many great baobab trees to admire. The variety of animals is fairly low and we didn't see much density outside of the elephants. We saw a few giraffe, zebra, and buffalo. The one word of caution I would give is to avoid East African Safari Touring Company (EASTCO). Our guide was rude, unprofessional, unsafe, and had terrible communication. The owner, Simon, was completely unhelpful when we brought complaints to him. But I'm sure there are many much better companies that can help you explore this beautiful park.

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.

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.

This park is definitely my favourite out of Arusha and Manyara. The landscapes are beautifully spotted with Baobobs and the herds of elephants are truly breathtaking.

Tarangire is more famous for elephants. Wild cats are not the easiest to spot here.
