Tarangire National Park
A Hidden Gem of Tanzania’s Wilderness
Spanning 2,600 square miles (6,700 square km), Tarangire National Park is a captivating landscape of vast grasslands and ancient baobab trees, located 70 miles (115 km) from Arusha in the heart of southern Maasai land. As the sixth-largest park in Tanzania, it is renowned for its dense population of African elephants, making it one of the best places to witness these majestic giants in their natural habitat.
The park’s lifeblood is the Tarangire River, a permanent water source that attracts massive herds of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and hartebeests during the dry season. Where the prey gathers, predators follow—lions, leopards, and other hunters lie in wait, creating thrilling safari moments. The abundance of wildlife ensures that every visit to Tarangire is filled with excitement and discovery.
In addition to its rich wildlife, Tarangire boasts stunning scenery, from its towering baobab trees to the dramatic volcanic mountain ranges that form a picturesque backdrop. This blend of diverse habitats and striking landscapes makes Tarangire National Park a must-visit destination for those seeking an authentic Tanzanian safari experience.
