Where To Go On Safari in Tanzania: Tarangire National Park

After the Serengeti, Tarangire National Park has the greatest concentration of wildlife in Tanzania and in the dry season the Tarangire River is a magnet for thirsty wildlife. Tarangire also has some of the highest population density of elephants as compared to anywhere in Tanzania, and is the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly observed. Its sparse vegetation, strewn with baobab and acacia trees and its breathtaking views of the Maasai Steppe and the mountains in the south makes it a beautiful and distinctive location to visit.

Located just a 2-hour drive from Arusha, Tarangire is a popular stop for people traveling through the northern safari circuit on their way to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. The park extends into two game controlled areas and the wildlife is allowed to move freely throughout.
