Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park Overview

Imagine a mysterious woodland where countless elephants glide like silent ghosts between the towering trunks of larger-than-life baobab trees. You’ve just uncovered the best-kept secret of Tanzania’s Northern Circuit: Tarangire National Park. The park’s boundaries officially contain 2,600 square kilometers of wilderness, but the entire Tarangire ecosystem comprises approximately 20,000 square kilometers. This incredible expanse is rightfully celebrated as the home of Tanzania’s largest elephant population.

There are several distinct elephant groups that migrate in and out of the park throughout the year, taking advantage of the huge land area available to them. Because of this incredibly high concentration of elephants, visitors to Tarangire are virtually guaranteed to find a new family of these enchanting animals around every corner in the road.

Tarangire National Park best time to visit

July to November is the best time for wildlife viewing in Tarangire National Park. This coincides more or less with the middle and end of the Dry season. Many animals migrate out of the park during the Wet season (November to May), when wildlife viewing is considerably less productive.
