Tarangire National Park

Overview

Baobabs and Big Herds

Tarangire National Park is a hidden gem in the Northern Safari Circuit. Characterized by its iconic giant baobab trees and hilly landscapes, it offers an authentic safari atmosphere that feels wilder and less crowded than its more famous neighbors.

Running through the heart of the park is the Tarangire River, the only permanent water source in the area during the dry season. This life-giving artery draws massive concentrations of wildlife, including herds of elephants that can number in the hundreds, making it one of the best places in the world to observe these majestic giants.
