Tarangire National Park

Safari Highlights:

View the magnificent herds of elephant in Tarangire, 118 km southwest of Arusha. This national park is also famous for its many ancient baobab trees as well as the river which runs through the Park and which attracts thousands of animals from the dry Maasai steppe during June through September.

Marvel at the sheer numbers of migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland awhich come to the Tarangire River at that time, knowing that here, always, there is water.

Gaze at dry-country antelope, such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and strange long-necked gerenuk which are regularly observed here. Among the 550 bird species recorded to date in Tarangire Park are dazzling yellow-collared lovebirds, the endemic ashy starling and rufous-tailed weaver and the ‘duetting’ red-and-yellow barbets.

See the world of Tarangire National Park at any time of the year. Although the dry season months of June through September are recommended for sheer numbers of animals, the wet season offers sightings of spectacular activity.

Encounter the people on cultural and special interest trips around the park. These excursions include guided walking safaris, day trips to Maasai and Barabaig villages and visits to the ancient rock paintings in the vicinity of Kolo on the Dodoma road.

Enjoy the comfort of your nights on safari with AFRICAT, in Lodges & Camps, both within and outside the parks.  For following the great migration, we use mobile camps, which enable us to stay very close to the herds. During cultural tours you may camp in a village or spend a night in a local, traditional house.
