Tarangire National Park Guided Day Tour From Arusha
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

Tarangire National Park
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.

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.

You'll return to your Arusha hotel late in the afternoon.
