Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is known for its ancient baobab trees and, in the dry season, some of the largest concentrations of elephants in northern Tanzania, drawn to the Tarangire River.
Dry-season elephants
From about June to October the Tarangire River is the main source of water for miles around. Elephants, buffalo, zebra and wildebeest move into the park, and herds of elephants along the river are the highlight of a visit.
Baobabs and birds
Huge baobab trees give Tarangire its character. The park is also excellent for birds, with more than 500 species recorded, from ground hornbills to yellow-collared lovebirds.
Where you stay
Budget itineraries use Fanaka Campsite, which also serves Lake Manyara. Midrange and luxury trips are quoted with lodges chosen for your dates.
Fitting Tarangire into a safari
Tarangire is about two hours from Arusha, so it is often the first stop on a northern Tanzania safari before Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti.
