The 2,850km2 Tarangire National Park is an integral part of the Northern Tanzania safari circuit, Tarangire is a relatively small park surrounded by private conservancies that extend it’s eco-system substantially.
During the dry months of July to November, the perennial Tarangire River, running through the heart of the park becomes the sole source of freshwater for the abundant wildlife within the Manyara National Reserve. A migration of animals in search of water and green pastures provides exceptional game viewing including wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, lesser and greater kudu as well as predators such as lion, leopard and hyena. The elephant population during these months is known to reach upwards of 3,000 in the park at one time.
