Tarangire National Park

Overview

Tarangire is the least visited of the parks along Tanzania's northern circuit, and it's a crying shame make it one of the best parks in the country for taking breathtaking photos or simply basking in the beauty of the world's largest land mammals.

Game drives through Tarangire are particularly thrilling during the dry season when the animals of the park must cluster closer and closer to the Tarangire River. This offers a great opportunity to see plenty of animals in one place and to witness the predator-prey relationship in action.
