Tarangire National Park Safaris and Tour Packages

During the rainy season, animals such as wildebeest, Thomson’s gazelles, zebra and elephants are widely dispersed throughout the park. However, once the dry season commences in July, these animals make their way to the river where they remain until October. While the river significantly reduces in size over the months of July to October, it always provides some water and respite for those animals that stay along its banks.

Famous for its tree-climbing pythons, Tarangire National Park is also known as a popular spot for birdwatchers on a Tanzania vacation. More than 550 species have been recorded in the park and the swamps host the largest selection of breeding birds in the world. Walking safaris are one of the best ways to experience Tarangire as they allow visitors to get close to the wildlife without disrupting it.
