TarangireNational Park
Elephant families, broad baobab trees and safari days shaped by the Tarangire River.
Stay a little longer by the river.
Tarangire brings together baobab country, woodland and river landscapes. Elephants are a particular draw, but a good drive also leaves time for giraffes, birds and the smaller activity around the tracks.
As the surrounding land dries, the river becomes especially important to wildlife. Choose your dates and overnight stops with that seasonal rhythm in mind.

Wildlife around the river
During the dry season, the Tarangire River becomes a focus for animals seeking water. It is a useful window to consider if elephants and classic wildlife drives are priorities.
A different pace and landscape
The greener months bring fresh scenery and a wider spread of wildlife. Birdlife and changing light give plenty to enjoy, with the route planned around current conditions.
A stop that fits your safari
Tarangire can be included before or after other northern parks. Tell us how many days you have so we can balance driving time with time inside the park.
The timing and concentration of wildlife change with rainfall.
Before you go
Is Tarangire only about elephants?
Elephants are a highlight, but Tarangire also has varied birdlife, giraffes, other plains animals and predators. Its baobabs and river scenery are part of the experience too.
Can I include an overnight stay?
Yes. Your available time and wider route will help determine whether a day visit or an overnight stop makes more sense.
