Tarangire National Park: A Safari Sanctuary for Elephant
Tarangire National Park: A Safari Sanctuary for Elephant Lovers
Tarangire National Park is often overshadowed by the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, but it’s one of Tanzania's most unique and rewarding safari destinations. Famous for its elephant herds, baobab trees, and secluded atmosphere, Tarangire is the ideal place for those seeking an authentic and less crowded safari experience.
This park promises a journey back to nature where you’ll encounter the wild and majestic at every turn.
Our Expertise
The best months to visit are during the dry season (June to October). This is when animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot.
The wet season (November to April) offers lush landscapes and fewer tourists but can be more challenging for wildlife viewing.
