Elephant kingdom of Tanzania
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is one of Tanzania’s most underrated treasures — a peaceful haven known for its majestic baobab trees, sweeping valleys, and incredible elephant herds. Located just a few hours from Arusha, it offers a raw, untamed safari experience away from the crowds.
The park comes alive in the dry season, when animals gather in great numbers around the Tarangire River — the only permanent water source in the area. Elephants dominate the landscape here, often appearing in large, close-knit families. You’ll also find lions, giraffes, wildebeest, buffalo, and a vibrant variety of birdlife.
What makes Tarangire so special is its feeling of space and stillness. It’s a place where you can linger by a riverbank, watch herds move slowly through the trees, and enjoy the silence of the wild.
With its dramatic scenery and rich wildlife, Tarangire offers an intimate, unforgettable start — or finish — to your northern safari circuit.
