Tarangire National Park is located approximately two and a half hours from Arusha, making it a great affordable option for a day trip. You can look forward to seeing many things here in the Tarangire National Park. If you come in the dry season which is June through November you will see an influx of up to 250,000 animals! The Tarangire river is a good source of water for these animals, especially when other sources dry up with the drier weather. There are an abundance of carnivores including lions, leopards, cheetah and African Wild Dogs. You can also find giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and Cape buffalo. Various primates also reside in the park among them olive baboons and vervet monkeys. But most impressive is the large population of elephants found in the park. Many herds of up to three hundred elephants per herd can be seen in Tarangire. Fun fact, the oldest elephant to give birth to twins lived in this park!

You can also see over five hundred and forty five species of birds here including Yellow Collared Lovebirds and Ashy Starlings and the Tawny Eagle. Tarangire is also home to two very special trees. The Baobab tree is one of the most enduring symbols of Africa, known as the tree of life. The Umbrella Thorn Acacia tree is the most photographed tree in the world.

We would love you to join us for this astounding day trip, you will never be able to say that you have never seen an elephant again!
