Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is in northern part of Tanzania, just south of Lake Manyara. This is the protected area of colossal baobabs, grassy plains and huge herds of elephant. The park is one of the most underrated of Tanzaniaís attractions, receiving just a fraction of the Serengetiís visitors, which means more space and exclusivity for those who do make it to Tarangire. Wildlife is present, but for the most part it’s a sideshow to the scenery and the trekking and climbing possibilities.
As well as 300-strong herds of elephant, visitors will find big groups of buffalo and healthy populations of lions and leopards. During the dry season, Tarangire has the highest concentration of mammals in the country. There are wild dogs and rare antelope such as Gerenuk, plus more than 550 species of birds to spot throughout the year.
Tarangire is the ideal park for those who want to explore beyond game drives. Walk through the savannah to study the smallest creatures and learn about tracking animals. Soar through the sky in a hot-air balloon at dawn or head out on a night drive to find nocturnal wildlife.
During your Safari in Tarangire, You are highly recommended to stay for a couple of days especially in the south of the park which offers a less crowded safari experience and gives you the opportunity to enjoy an authentic African feel of the Tanzaniaís countryside.
