Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s smaller parks, is a breath of fresh air for safari enthusiasts. The Tarangire ecosystem, located within 40,000 acres of private wilderness in northern Tanzania, is home to the second-highest concentration of wildlife of any Tanzania National Park after the Serengeti.

It also has one of East Africa’s most prolific elephant populations, with herds of up to 300 elephants drinking from its small rivers and scratching the terrain surface for underground streams. The big cats thrive here, supported by large herds of wildebeest, buffalo, impala, zebra, gazelle, and more than 450 bird species that congregate around the park’s lagoons.

Best time to visit:

The game is at its peak during the dry season, which lasts from June to October. From November to May, the weather is beautiful, but it’s a little more difficult to spot wildlife.
