Tarangire National Park

The Land of Baobabs & Elephants

Best Time to Visit

June – October for peak wildlife gathering at the Tarangire River; June – Aug for elephant viewings.

Recommendation

Early morning balloon safaris offer unparalleled panoramas of the Baobab silhouettes over the mist plains.

The Elephant Haven

Tarangire is famous for its high density of elephants and giant baobab trees. The Tarangire River is the primary source of fresh water for wild animals in the Tarangire Ecosystem, especially during the dry season, making it a spectacular place for wildlife viewing.

The Elephant Sanctuary

Gathering herds of up to 300 elephants frequent the cooling river shores. Witness matriarchs guiding calves through ancient migration corridors framing dense waterhole assemblies sequentially.

Ancient Baobabs

Gigantic Baobab trees punctuate the horizon, standing guards as living pillars hundreds of years old. Their bulbous trunks offer safe refuge to multiple birdlife categories during drying season.
