Tanzania
Tarangire
The elephant kingdom
Ancient baobabs, Tanzania's largest elephant herds and over 550 bird species. Tarangire is surprise in its purest form.
Request travel proposal →Tarangire is Tanzania's hidden gem. Fewer visitors than the Serengeti, but certainly no less impressive. The Tarangire River attracts thousands of animals during the dry season: elephants, zebras, wildebeest and a phenomenal variety of birds. The iconic baobab trees make every landscape photo-worthy.

Zones & Areas
Each section of the park has its own character and best season.
Tarangire River
The park's lifeline. In the dry season, up to 300 elephants at a time drink along the riverbank — one of Africa's most impressive spectacles.
Silale Swamp
Bird-watchers' paradise. Marabou storks, flamingos, African fish eagles and hundreds of other species. Buffalo and hippos also call this home.
Northern section
Less visited, more adventure. Bush camping here gives an authentic wildlife experience — surrounded by the sounds of the African night.
