The perfect African safari

We enjoyed a sunset and a sunrise safari in Tarangire National Park and both were excellent. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and entertaining. He tailored his approach with us depending on our interests and told us so many stories about his time as a guide! Our safari jeep was great and seated six comfortably, not that we sat down for much of it.

We spent one night at a campsite in the park, which was basic but comfortable enough, and we heard lions roaring nearby to our tents as we slept. The food was great, it would be impossible to go hungry. We saw only a handful of other tourists whilst we were there.

Highlights were the number of elephants (we saw so many!), the baobab trees, extensive bird life, a trio of cheetahs and driving alongside a charging herd of wildebeest.

Tarangire is a great introduction to seeing lots of elephants. Last trip we encountered Leopards too, which was a great thrill for everyone.

Located slightly off the main safari route, Tarangire National Park is a lovely, quiet park in Northern Tanzania. It is most famous for its elephant migration, birding and authentic safari atmosphere. The majority of travellers to the region either miss out Tarangire altogether or venture into the park for a matter of hours - leaving swathes of Tarangire virtually untouched!

Wide open views, diverse habitats and wonderful accommodations as well as close proximity to the international airport make Tarangire easily accessible without air travel. We stayed at Treetops and enjoyed fine food and beverage, friendly staff and wonderful bird watching from our door. Trips into the park provided a wide range of plants and animals including close encounters with many of the expected mammalian and avian species. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

A very recommendable park with a great variety of animals and landscapes. With its river at the heart of the park it offers also a very scenic landscape. We didn't regret it at all visiting this beautiful park.

This was the first park of our Safari Itinerary. The weather was perfect for this trip - cloudy overcast with some occasional sprinkles, but due to heavy rains prior few days some of the roads in the park were closed, so we didn't get a chance to visit all planned areas, but those that we have visited were amazing. I was expecting a little bit less folks/tourists there, but this is subjective. We've got to see giraffes, gazelles, monkeys, ostriches. But the most memorable encounter was with the herd of elephants, counting about 20. They crossed dirt road we were on and you can see all of them from few feet distance - amazing.

My fiancé and I are in our 30's from New York City and recently took a two week tour to Kenya and Tanzania. What an incredible life experience that everyone must absolutely do in their lifetime - and better sooner rather than later. You will feel like you're living in a National Geographic video. Just make sure you go the right time of year. Children will absolutely love it - just make sure they're old enough to remember it. In Kenya we went to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Samburu Game Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park and the highlight, the incredible Maasai Mara to witness the great migration. In Tanzania we went to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Tarangire was our first stop in Tanzania after Kenya and our first reaction was "whoa, there are a lot of elephants here. And they are BIG" - they owned the place. We saw baby and adolescent elephants play fighting which was a highlight. Plenty of other animals as well - we saw
Read more lions, leopards lazing about in the trees, several bird species, zebras and wildebeest. We really enjoyed our time in Tarangire and highly encourage you to visit.
