Tarangire National Park
Welcome To Tarangire
Tarangire National Park is one of Tanzania’s hidden gems, known for its vast landscapes, diverse wildlife, and impressive elephant populations. Spanning approximately 2,850 square kilometres, Tarangire is part of the northern safari circuit but remains less crowded than its more famous neighbours, such as the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
The park is named after the Tarangire River, which runs through it and serves as a vital water source for wildlife, especially during the dry season. With its iconic baobab trees and rich biodiversity, Tarangire offers a quintessential African safari experience.
