Elephant and calf in the plains of Tarangire National Park, Tanzania

Luxury Safaris in Tarangire National Park made for you

An immense game experience without the traffic

Home of elephants and baobabs

One of Tanzania’s iconic parks, Tarangire is a great place to begin or end your visit to Tanzania. The park is famous for its large population of elephants and the abundance of the emblematic baobab tree. Big cats are common in Tarangire and are often seen stalking the huge herds of plains game that wonder through this open landscape.

Named after the river that courses through it, Tarangire National Park is home to more than 550 species of bird including the yellow-collared lovebirds and the heaviest flying bird, the kori bustard. The park attracts large quantities of game during the driest periods of the year including around 300 elephants and quite a few of the migratory wildebeest so eagerly sought after. With open woodlands and pockets of acacia trees feeding the animals that yearn for the shade, the landscape is remarkably reminiscent of ‘the typical Africa scene’.

The park is unofficially known as the baobab capital of the world, and these ancient trees flower just once a year between October and December, their large and heavy white blooms opening for just one night and emitting a strong odor that attracts bats and insects.

When to visit

During the dry season of June to October the game is at its peak. November to May are beautiful but it’s a bit harder to spot the game. Tanzania in general is an amazing destination to visit all year round, but if you’re after the Great Migration, visit between June and July. The iconic river crossings take place from August to October and calves are born at the start of the year, with up to 8000 born daily during February.

Peak game viewing

June–October
