Discover Tarangire National Park
Discover the spectacular wilderness of Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most rewarding safari destinations and a highlight of the Northern Safari Circuit. Famous for its impressive elephant herds, enormous baobab trees and beautiful savannah landscapes, Tarangire offers an unforgettable African wildlife experience.
The park is crossed by the Tarangire River, an important source of water that attracts large numbers of animals, particularly during the dry season. Here, you can watch elephants gathering around the river, giraffes moving gracefully through the woodlands, zebras grazing across the plains and predators searching for their next meal.
Covering approximately 2,850 square kilometres, Tarangire is a wonderful destination for wildlife lovers, photographers and anyone looking to experience the beauty of Tanzania’s natural heritage.
Join Olele Adventure for an exciting private day safari and discover the incredible wildlife and landscapes of Tarangire.
