Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is renowned for its stunning landscapes and rich wildlife diversity. Spanning over 2,600 square kilometres, the park features vast savannahs, lush riverine woodlands, and iconic baobab trees. It is home to large herds of elephants, as well as lions, leopards, and diverse bird species, making it a fantastic destination for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers.

Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Tarangire National Park is during the dry season, from June to September. This period offers optimal wildlife viewing, as animals gather around the Tarangire River, where water is available. With lower vegetation, wildlife spotting becomes easier, allowing visitors to observe large herds of elephants, lions, and other game against the backdrop of stunning landscapes.

The weather during these months is warm and dry, with clear skies providing excellent conditions for photography and game drives.

Tarangire is a hidden gem where the wildlife experience is as rich as the land is beautiful.

While the dry season is popular, the wet season, from November to May, transforms the park into a lush haven. This time attracts migratory birds and brings vibrant greenery, although wildlife may be more dispersed. Each season offers unique experiences, so plan your visit according to your interests for a memorable adventure.

How to Get There

Tarangire National Park is conveniently located about 120 kilometres from Arusha. Visitors can reach the park by taking a guided tour that includes transportation and knowledgeable guides. Alternatively, self-driving is an option, allowing travellers to enjoy the scenic routes through the Tanzanian landscape. The roads to the park are well-maintained, ensuring a smooth journey to this extraordinary wildlife destination.
