One of Tanzania's best-kept secrets, Tarangire National Park promises a superb safari as herds of animals flock to its river banks in the dry season.
- Great game viewing when Serengeti is out of season
- See elephants, lions and more along Tarangire river
- Escape all the tourists in Ngorongoro and Serengeti
- Small game park with dense concentration of animals
- Real African landscape with baobabs & umbrella thorns
Tarangire National Park is certainly not the most famous Tanzanian Safari destination but it is one of the best! Situated south-west of Arusha it is easier to access than
Ngorongoro and the
Serengeti and offers a far more exclusive experience away from the crowds.
NB: You can include a visit to Tarangire as part of a Northern Safari Circuit tour that also takes in
Ngorongoro,
Serengeti or
Kilimanjaro. Speak to a consultant and we can create your own itinerary.

The national park runs along the Tarangire River, which is an important source of water for animals during the dry season (July to October). Huge herds of elephant numbering up to 300, lion and other wild animals all flock south from the
Serengeti to the park in search of water and food. There is also a vast array of birdlife in this region as well as old gnarled baobabs offering a real sense of Africa. In fact, the beauty of Tarangire is that it is in season when the migration has passed through the Serengeti - meaning you can enjoy a world-class safari whenever you visit Tanzania.
