Tarangire National Park
Where ancient baobabs meet roaming elephants in the heart of Tanzania’s wilderness
Just two hours from Arusha, Tarangire National Park offers a breathtaking blend of wildlife, wilderness, and ancient landscapes. While it may be less well known than its famous neighbors Serengeti and Ngorongoro, Tarangire is a true hidden treasure. It is especially popular among travelers seeking authentic and off the beaten track safari experiences far from the crowds.
The park is famous for its large elephant herds that roam freely beneath towering baobab trees and acacia woodlands. Tarangire also supports a diverse range of wildlife including lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and over five hundred species of birds. The seasonal Tarangire River provides vital water sources during the dry months, attracting many animals and creating spectacular wildlife viewing opportunities.
At Wild Miles Safaris, we take you deep into the heart of this magical park where the wild spirit of Africa comes alive. Whether you are watching elephants bathe in the river, spotting rare birds, or tracking elusive predators, every moment in Tarangire feels raw and unforgettable. Our expert guides will ensure your experience captures the true essence of Tanzania’s wilderness.
