Description

Tarangire is the least visited of the parks along Tanzania's northern circuit. The park's large elephant population, iconic Baobab trees, and diversity of wildlife make it one of the best parks in the country for taking breathtaking photos or simply basking in the beauty of the world's largest land mammals. Game drives through Tarangire are particularly thrilling during the dry season when the animals of the park must cluster closer and closer to the Tarangire River. The Tarangire River has water all year round and during the dry season, between July and October, many animals from the surrounding areas come to the river for drinking.  This offers a great opportunity to see plenty of animals in one place and to witness the predator-prey relationship in action

Itinerary

Admission included360 min

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.

Great game viewing

This was our last park for game viewing before returning home ,it did not disappoint..... just a short drive into the park there were lots of elephants and many giraffe , we also saw tree lions all spotted within 30mins of entering..of course it’s the luck of the draw as to what you see and when...we stayed overnight at the Sopa Lodge and left the next morning and saw very little along the drive out... We saw several lions one lioness was stalking a “Pumba” ..she failed the pumba lived another day.
