Tarangire National Park
Overview
Tarangire National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is renowned for its large elephant herds and dramatic landscapes dotted with ancient baobab trees. Covering approximately 2,850 square kilometers, it is the sixth-largest national park in the country and offers a quieter, less crowded safari experience compared to some of Tanzania’s more famous parks.

In addition to elephants, visitors can expect to see lions, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, and numerous antelope species, including lesser kudu and oryx. The park is also known for its large population of tree-climbing pythons and abundant zebra and wildebeest herds, especially during the migration season.
Bird Watching
Tarangire National Park is a birdwatcher’s haven, boasting over 550 bird species. The park’s varied habitats, from swamps and riverbanks to grasslands and woodlands, provide ideal conditions for diverse birdlife.
Visitors can spot a range of species, including the striking yellow-collared lovebird, the majestic African fish eagle, and the vivid lilac-breasted roller. During the wet season, migratory species flock to the park, enhancing its already rich avian diversity, making it a must-visit destination for bird enthusiasts.
