- Tarangire National Park - Our professional tour driver guide will deliver a short safari info briefing, after which we travel east two hour drive to the Tarangire National Park. Along the way you’ll take in the changing landscape as Arusha’s urban jungle is replaced by wide open plains and quaint Masai villages. Checking in at the park offers a good chance to see mischievous monkeys darting about in the shade and you can also pose with a gigantic Baobab at the park’s entrance. Once inside the park, you’ll see the eponymous Tarangire river lined with acacia and Baobab where game amble to and fro throughout the day. During the dry season, thousands of animals from the Masai steppe migrate to the Tarangire region looking for water so you can see dozens of different species in a small amount of time. Exclusive to the park are endangered animals such as the Greater Kudu, Fringe-Eared Oryx, and the Ashy Starling. Tarangire is famous for its huge number of elephant’s population, baobab trees and tree climbing African pythons Enjoy a picnic lunch(own expense) at one of the park’s picnic areas and take in an unparralelled view of the Tarangire River. Keep an eye on your food though, as the local monkey population will be only too happy to make off with a tasty treat if given the opportunity! You’ll return to your Arusha hotel late in the afternoon.

Tarangire, though the most unexplored, forms a part of Tanzania’s renowned northern circuit. Rich in its population of elephants, the distinctive Baobab trees, and a variety of wildlife species, the park offers a unique opportunity for capturing stunning photographs or simply immersing oneself in the majesty of the world’s largest terrestrial creatures.
Excursions within Tarangire turn significantly exciting during the arid period when the park’s animals are compelled to congregate increasingly near the Tarangire River. This river retains water throughout the year, and during the parched spell from July through October, numerous animals from the nearby regions converge at the river to quench their thirst. It provides an excellent chance to view a high concentration of animals at a single location and to observe the interaction between predators and their prey.
