Tarangire is known for it's numerous elephant populations and bird species diversity. The area also has a wide variety of mammal species most abundant include baboon, impala, waterbuck, giraffe, and warthog. Over 150 species of birds can be observed in a single day by even the novice birder. Lion, leopard and cheetah are present but may not be observed daily. A stay of 3 days is minimal. I rate this park excellent for wildlife photography.

We have visited this park among several others during a honeymoon trip back in 1999. This was our first safari but we have been enjoying this so much that we still remember this as the best trip of our life and keep dreaming of getting back there.
This park has impressed us but its great outdoors, the large grassy meadows. We also saw cheetahs there.

Tanrangire National Park is also a great place to visit, has much diversity, and here you can see elephant with reddish mud on them, for the soil is reddish in color. It’s known for its large elephant population. I also believe that because of the Tarangire River it’s very good in the dry season as well.

My Favorite park in Tanzania
This park has a great scenery, and wonderful wildlife. I would have enjoyed spending more time in this park over a few others we visited. Our group also visited Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Ngoro Ngoro Crater and thought Tarangire was our favorite. The accommodations were very nice, and our guide Alfred was the gem of our trip. He was very knowable on the wildlife and was a part of the family by the end of our 7 day safari. In Tarangire were able to see the leopards very close up and that was quite a treat. The elephants on the plain were wonderful against the back drop of great mountains and Boabab trees. I would recommend visiting Tarangire to anyone traveling to Tanzania.

A beautiful park with lots of elephants. It seemed a little busier than other parks we visited but we saw a lot and very close up!

The home of the elephant. The scenic views of Tarangire with its rocky foundation, baobab trees, and valleys provide an amazing backdrop to the wildlife. You will see many elephants at Tarangire guaranteed. A must stop on your Tanzania safari. I would recommend 2 days minimum to explore the park.

Tarangire was the best park we visited. The landscape was densely varied, offering a great variety of habitats in a relatively small setting, with every kind of animal we could dream of (except cheetahs, but it was late May, when they are harder to find.) Highly recommended.

Tarangire National Park was our first stop in Tanzania (after stopping in Arusha for a meal). It had a wide variety of wildlife, from very large numbers of elephants to lions, giraffes, zebras and a wide variety of birds. It was a very nice park for game drives, and I would highly recommend including it in a safari tour if time allows.
