Tarangire is an exciting park, particularly in the dry season. This is somewhere you'll see large quantities of game and some particularly large herds of elephant. Tarangire also offers some of the best walking safaris in northern Tanzania.

In an area of about 2,600 sq. kms, Tarangire National Park contains nine different vegetation zones, each supporting distinct types of wildlife. The park is named after the Tarangire River that runs through the center of the park providing a permanent water source in the area.
