Our first visit was to Tarangire. We were really impressed by the park, as our first safari experience. By comparison, I feel the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater are a step up. Nonetheless, Taragire was still an amazing place to visit. Lots of zebras and elephants. Out of the three we visited, it seemed to me that there were more various types of birds as compared to the Serentgeti and Ngorongoro.

Magnificent!!
What an amazing destination! The national park is not the biggest put its quality is awesome! I can't believe how many elephants we saw. I thought we may see into early double figures yet we saw probably over 40 at least. So many wildebeest and antelope too, apparently more had stayed due to the wettest dry season in Tanzania for many years, and the animals hadn't moved on in to Kenya as normal. We also saw two young lions and a leopard, plus a very quick moving black civet cat. As well as vultures, Eagles, warthogs and a massive crane that must be 5ft tall. The weather in the day was great as it was a little overcast and cleared later on in the afternoon, making the middle of the day a little cooler. The scenery was incredible and seeing the size of baubob trees, which are hundreds if not thousands of years old in some cases is phenomenal. The quality of vehicles at Bobbys tours was awesome and so was our guide King Julius, our nickname for him. The day was our highlight of our month long trip to Tanzania.

We saw our first lion here and we had stunning views from our lodge. The elephants visited the camp in the evening and early morning in front of the tent. You definitely need to stay here for 2 nights (Tarangire River Lodge)

Underrated National Park.
We stayed at Oliver's Camp which was excellent in every respect, we have stayed in several 'top end' camps in southern Africa in recent years

and this would probably be our favourite, a truly authentic safari experience. The walking safari and night drive were both well worth doing. What makes Oliver's special is the staff at all levels, their work is a vocation, not a job. The food was great and it was a fantastic start to each day to check the camera trap to see which uninvited guests had visited camp during the night. We intend to visit Tarangire again in the future and Oliver's camp in particular.

An elephant paradise
Tarangire is totally representing the typical African nature. But god gave lots of gifts to Tarangire. The land scape of Tarangire is extremely nice. You can view the whole plain together with Elephants and other animals. A pieceful atmosfer is surrounding you. becuase the elephants are so slow and the zebras are all arround. But we have also seen hidden lions between the long grasses. The old african trees are an incredible nature icon. We were 4 people and was like a private Safari. We enjoyed so much. I can not forget what we lived and will go again in the first convenience.

Interesting variety of biomes in Tarangire with its swamp and dry scrub lands and boba trees. Very beautiful landscapes. Able to see packs of elephants and herds of hoofstock and even some lions there. Loved our accommodations at Sangaiwe tented lodges.

We enjoyed all the wildlife and scenery of this park. It's also not as busy with tourists in jeeps. Animals are comfortable being close so it's great for watching their behavior and photographing.

Tarangire is excellent for elephants. Not that that comes as a surprise for anyone who's ever opened a travel / safari guide book, but I can now confirm it personally. For people who don't like elephants as much as I do, I can also say that the park landscape is gorgeous.
