Welcome to the Tarangire
National Park, one of the hidden jewels of Tanzania.
This park measures 2,600 sq km’s and boasts a
concentration of wildlife second only to Ngorongoro
Crater. It features an impressive amount and array of
birdlife and plantlife.
Situated only 160km’s from
Arusha, the park is nestled to the south of the large
open grass plains of southern Maasailand. It is named
after the Tarangire River, which runs directly through
the center of the park and is the only permanent water
source for the animals. Along the banks of this river
you will find herds of wildebeest (or gnu) and zebra,
followed by Grant’s Gazelle, Thomson’s Gazelle and
many others. Lurking in the background lion and
leopard keep a watchful eye on a possible meal.
