Our Tanzania safari tour Tarangire tours can be arranged as a day trip from Arusha or included in a longer journey through Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. Choose a shared safari, a private adventure or a lodge itinerary suited to your budget and available time.
Discover Tarangire National Park
Tarangire offers a varied landscape of open grassland, woodland, seasonal wetlands and impressive baobab trees. The Tarangire River provides an important water source for wildlife, particularly during drier periods.
A game drive offers opportunities to look for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, impalas and buffalo. Lions, leopards and other predators also inhabit the park, although sightings depend on wildlife movements and conditions on the day.
For travelers interested in photography, Tarangire’s scenery is part of the attraction. Elephant families beneath baobab trees, birds beside the river and changing light across the savannah create memorable photographic opportunities.
