Introduction

Tarangire National Park is a national park located in northern Tanzania, about 120 km southwest of Arusha. The park is named after the Tarangire River, which runs through it and covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers.

The park is known for its large herds of elephants and baobab trees, as well as its diverse range of wildlife, including wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, impalas, gazelles, buffalos, and predators such as lions, leopards, hyenas. The park also has a variety of bird species, including some that are endemic to the region.

The park is relatively quiet and less crowded compared to other popular national parks in Tanzania, making it an ideal destination for visitors seeking a more peaceful and authentic safari experience. The park is also a great destination for walking safaris, night game drives, and cultural experiences with local tribes such as the Maasai.

In addition to wildlife, visitors can also enjoy the park's picturesque landscapes, including the Tarangire River and its floodplains, as well as the majestic baobab trees that dot the park's landscape. The park is open all year round, but the best time to visit is during the dry season from June to September when wildlife congregates around the Tarangire River and is easier to spot.
