Tarangire National Park
About Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is around 100 kilometers from Arusha on the way to Manyara, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti. Tarangire National Park, located in northern Tanzania, has an area of 2,850 km2. It is Tanzania’s sixth largest national park and offers unrivaled elephant sightings – yep, it is estimated that the park is home to the highest number of elephants in northern Tanzania – over 2,500 – and this figure is expanding quickly by an estimated 6% per year. Elephant herds can number up to 600 elephants.
The Tarangire River is also situated in this park. This river winds through the center of the park, offering animal nourishment and excellent viewing for visitors. Huge herds of animals and birds converge along this river every day so you won’t miss anything for sure. Many Baobab trees are also available, amazing trees that can survive for thousands of years. In the rainy seasons, species can be observed, but the abundance of biodiversity during the dry seasons appears to be better.
During the rainy season, the seasonal visitors scatter over a 20,000 sq km range until they exhaust the green plains and the river calls once more. The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world. Pythons climb trees, as do its lions and leopards, lounging in the branches where the fruit of the sausage tree disguises the twitch of a tail.
