Tarangire National Park

Uncover the Elephant Kingdom of Tarangire — Tanzania’s Hidden Safari Treasure

Tarangire National Park is one of Tanzania’s hidden gems — a peaceful yet wildlife-rich haven in the heart of the Northern Safari Circuit. Known for its massive elephant herds, iconic baobab trees, and uncrowded safari experience, Tarangire offers a different kind of beauty. The Tarangire River, which winds through the park, is a critical water source that draws animals from all over the region, especially during the dry season. This creates incredible game-viewing opportunities in a serene and unspoiled setting.
At Pangolin Travelers’ Expedition, we take you beyond the typical safari trails and deep into Tarangire’s raw wilderness. Our expert local guides lead immersive game drives where you’ll spot elephants bathing, lions lounging in the shade, and hundreds of bird species flying overhead. Whether you visit as a day trip from Arusha or as part of a multi-day Northern Circuit safari, a Tarangire safari with us promises unforgettable wildlife moments, scenic landscapes, and personalized service every step of the way.

Why Visit Tarangire National Park?

Covering approximately 2,850 square kilometers, Tarangire National Park is the sixth-largest park in Tanzania and offers rich biodiversity in a relatively compact area. What makes Tarangire truly special is its high concentration of elephants — often seen in herds of 100 or more — and its ancient baobab trees, which dot the landscape like sentinels of time.

The park is also famous for its dramatic dry season, when thousands of animals gather around the Tarangire River, making it one of the best places for game viewing between June and October. Lions, leopards, giraffes, wildebeests, and buffalo are commonly seen, and the park is a birdwatcher’s paradise with over 500 bird species recorded.
