Tarangire National Park

Ancient baobabs, giant elephant herds, and quiet wilderness far from the crowds.

Tanzania’s Elephant Haven

Tarangire National Park is one of northern Tanzania’s hidden gems. Famous for its enormous elephant herds and towering baobab trees, the park offers a quieter and more intimate safari experience than some of Tanzania’s larger parks. During the dry season, wildlife gathers around the Tarangire River, creating spectacular game viewing opportunities in a beautiful and diverse landscape.
