Paradise
Tarangire National Park is a hidden gem in the Northern Safari Circuit. Characterized by its iconic giant baobab trees and hilly landscapes, it offers an authentic safari atmosphere that feels wilder and less crowded than its more famous neighbors.
Running through the heart of the park is the Tarangire River, the only permanent water source in the area during the dry season. This life-giving artery draws massive concentrations of wildlife, including herds of elephants that can number in the hundreds, making it one of the best places in the world to observe these majestic giants.
The park is famous for its "Trees of Life"—ancient baobabs that dot the landscape, some of which are believed to be over 1,000 years old.
With over 550 species of birds, Tarangire is a haven for avian enthusiasts, featuring everything from giant ostriches to colorful lovebirds.
Watch as thousands of animals converge on the riverbanks during the dry season (July-October).
Experience the sight of legendary "Big Tuskers" moving across the scenic terrain.
