Tarangire for Walking Safaris and Night Drives
It was the only park where we could do a walking safari and night drive, both exciting adventures I recommend. Our guides were knowledgeable, safety-minded and great spotters. It is also the park to see the magnificent Baobab tree. Back in the Jeep, elephant families, lions with cubs, wildebeest, giraffe, warthogs, cape buffalo, mongoose and herds of zebra made every turn in the road a new photo op. Larger birds like ostrich, vultures, hornbills, Secretary bird and the Kori bustard as well as the smaller multi-colored Lilac breasted roller, African hoopoe or iridescent superb starling kept my camera busy.

than most, Tarangire’s river supplies water to numerous animals and birds. Hang out on the parallel road and you will be rewarded.

Amazing... everyone should visit this place.
I had read that November was not the best time to visit most parks in Tanzania but was pleasantly surprised. I saw pretty much every animal i had been told I could see at this park in reasonable numbers. The weather was dry and sunny with a cool breeze during drives. The guide was amazing, the staff at the company Sandland Tours were an example in superuior customer service even in the most basic conditions and I wished I could be on safari forever.

A splendid park with an abundance of wild animals you can see from very near!
You'll find all kind of wild animals in Tarangire: not just some of them, but an abundance! We've seen the big five and many more. I was very impressed when I saw the lions (incl. the corpse of a water buffalo a lion had been eating), baobab trees with vultures, a cheetah, elephants, giraffes, impalas, zebras, wildebeests, warthogs, dikdiks, hornbills, ostriches, monkeys, etc.

Great Place For Wildlife
What makes Tarangire special is your guaranteed to see lots of wildlife. More then enough elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, monkeys, and more. When I visited in October was just past the rainy season and the weather was perfect. The rugged terrain there seems to help contain the animals to the park. The dirt roads are also well placed taking you near great watering holes and the road. The park also has great facilities at the entrance and lunch service was available. The park was not crowded but did have a steady stream of groups coming and going.
Many Elephants
Beautiful landscape, with large elephant herds which slowly pull through the area.
Many large Baobabs.

Park is near Arusha. Beautiful park that is a must for Elephant lovers. Some times of the year are better than others for viewing. Abundance of Baobab trees is a wonderful sight.
probably my favourite one, relatively small and not as crowded as Serengeti or Ngorongoro. mostly famous for the elephants, but we have seen there much more, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, just to name a few.

Absolutely splendid visit. Notable scenes were the large family herds of elephants just within reach of our Landcruisers. We were able to see a line of zebra stretching from horizon to horizon as they meandered down to the river for a drink. A single file line of zebra about 5 miles long! The view from the overlook rest stop is truly a Kodak moment.

Stunning
I had the pleasure of visiting Tarangire National Park as the first stop in my 9 day Safari with Fed Safaris which covered Tarangire, Lake Natron, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was the perfect starting point and I'm glad the guide talked me into doing it, over extended even longer in Serengeti. We had a little longer, which meant one full day in the park and that gave us access to some of the more remote roads. At one point we were in the middle of a confluence of elephant families. In total I counted just under 100. I've never seen anything like it. At another point as we headed back to the camp I looked over and spotted a small group of lionesses and their near-adult cubs. As they walked, the light rain stopped and an incredible rainbow framed them, including a Baobab in the background (truly). How do you beat that? Amazing place and the guide and extra time really made a big difference.
