Tarangire National Park

Overview

This full-day safari takes you to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania's most scenic and underrated wildlife destinations. Located just 2–3 hours from Arusha, Tarangire is known for its iconic baobab trees, vast savannah landscapes, and high concentrations of elephants, especially during the dry season.
The park is home to a variety of wildlife including lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, ostriches, and more than 500 bird species. The Tarangire River, the park’s lifeline, attracts animals from across the region, offering exceptional game viewing opportunities.
Ideal for a day trip from Arusha or Moshi, Tarangire provides an immersive safari experience with fewer crowds than the more popular Serengeti or Ngorongoro, making it perfect for wildlife enthusiasts, bird watchers, and nature lovers.
