Tarangire National Park Day Tour

Trip Introduction

Duration: 12 hours

Tarangire National Park is one of the national parks found in the northern safari circuit in Tanzania. The name Tarangire originates from the Tarangire River that crosses the park. The Tarangire River is the primary source of fresh water for wild animals in the Tarangire Ecosystem during the annual dry season. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south of the park. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. This park is well known as the elephant paradise due to high densities of elephants; also, other wildlife is there such as Giraffe, Eland, Impala, Zebra, Leopard, Lion, Wildebeest and Rock pythons, also has a large number of species of migratory birds.
