What an amazing destination! The national park is not the biggest put its quality is awesome! I can't believe how many elephants we saw. I thought we may see into early double figures yet we saw probably over 40 at least. So many wildebeest and antelope too, apparently more had stayed due to the wettest dry season in Tanzania for many years, and the animals hadn't moved on in to Kenya as normal. We also saw two young lions and a leopard, plus a very quick moving black civet cat. As well as vultures, Eagles, warthogs and a massive crane that must be 5ft tall. The weather in the day was great as it was a little overcast and cleared later on in the afternoon, making the middle of the day a little cooler. The scenery was incredible and seeing the size of baubob trees, which are hundreds if not thousands of years old in some cases is phenomenal. The quality of vehicles at Bobbys tours was awesome and so was our guide King Julius, our nickname for him. The day was our highlight of our month long trip to Tanzania.

Tarangire National Park was our first stop in Tanzania (after stopping in Arusha for a meal). It had a wide variety of wildlife, from very large numbers of elephants to lions, giraffes, zebras and a wide variety of birds. It was a very nice park for game drives, and I would highly recommend including it in a safari tour if time allows.

Tarangire was the best park we visited. The landscape was densely varied, offering a great variety of habitats in a relatively small setting, with every kind of animal we could dream of (except cheetahs, but it was late May, when they are harder to find.) Highly recommended.

The home of the elephant. The scenic views of Tarangire with its rocky foundation, baobab trees, and valleys provide an amazing backdrop to the wildlife. You will see many elephants at Tarangire guaranteed. A must stop on your Tanzania safari. I would recommend 2 days minimum to explore the park.

A beautiful park with lots of elephants. It seemed a little busier than other parks we visited but we saw a lot and very close up!

My Favorite park in Tanzania

This park has a great scenery, and wonderful wildlife. I would have enjoyed spending more time in this park over a few others we visited. Our group also visited Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Ngoro Ngoro Crater and thought Tarangire was our favorite. The accommodations were very nice, and our guide Alfred was the gem of our trip. He was very knowable on the wildlife and was a part of the family by the end of our 7 day safari. In Tarangire were able to see the leopards very close up and that was quite a treat. The elephants on the plain were wonderful against the back drop of great mountains and Boabab trees. I would recommend visiting Tarangire to anyone traveling to Tanzania.

Tanrangire National Park is also a great place to visit, has much diversity, and here you can see elephant with reddish mud on them, for the soil is reddish in color. It’s known for its large elephant population. I also believe that because of the Tarangire River it’s very good in the dry season as well.
