National Park
Tarangire
National Park is located 120 km from Arusha and is the
sixth largest park in Tanzania. The beautiful Tarangire
National Park stretches southeast of Lake Manyara around
the Tarangire River.
It
is just a few hours drive from the town of Arusha, Tarangire
is a popular stop for safaris traveling through the
northern circuit on their way to Ngorongoro and the
Serengeti. It is the vast number of Baobabs that first
capture the eye as you enter Tarangire national park.
The gently rolling countryside is dotted with these
majestic trees, which seem to dwarf the animals that
feed beneath them.
Tarangire
National Park owes its name to Tarangire River, which
flows across the area. It is characterized by dense
vegetation of acacia and mixed woodland, the area around
Tarangire River however, is dominated by huge baobab
trees and old doum palm trees to a lesser prominence,
as well as black cotton grass.
Tarangire
also has regions of quite dense bush, but with high
grasses and huge old baobab trees instead of the green
forests of Manyara. The land is hilly and dominated
by the impressive valley of the Tarangire River, which
attracts good numbers of migrant animals during the
dry months, especially between July and September.
Wildlife
Safari Attractions in Tarangire:
The
unique aspect of this Park is the annual animal immigration
that takes place during the dry season. Tarangire National
Park has some of the highest population density of elephants
anywhere in Tanzania, and its sparse vegetation, strewn
with baobab and acacia trees, makes it a beautiful and
special location. The park extends into two game controlled
areas and the animals are allowed to move freely throughout.
During
the dry season, particularly between August and October,
Tarangire has one of the highest concentrations of wildlife
of any of the Country’s parks. Large herds of
zebras, wildebeest, hartebeest and in particular, elephants
can be found here until October when the short wet season
allows them to move to new grasslands.
Tarangire
National Park offers unparalleled game viewing, and
during the dry season elephants abound. Families of
the pachyderms play around the ancient trunks of baobab
trees and strip acacia bark from the thorn trees for
their afternoon meal. Breathtaking views of the Masai
Steppe and the mountains to the south make a stop at
Tarangire a memorable experience.
Safari
Activities in Tarangire
Game Drives
Tarangire
National Park is part of an extended ecosystem through
which animals roam freely, and it’s possible to
do walks and spot lit game drives in the border areas.
Tarangire
is beautifully un spoilt, and safari drives through
the park enjoy wide views to distant variously purpled
formations of volcanic mountain ranges. You can enjoy
a variety of game activities such as foot safaris, night
drives and mountain bike trails.
Bird
watching
Throughout
the year there are always a fantastic number of colorful
birds swooping and strutting along the rough paths in
front of your vehicle, with likely spots including the
Paradise Whyder and endearing Yellow-collared lovebirds.
The
swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550
bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat
anywhere in the world.
On
drier ground you find the Kori bustard, the heaviest
flying bird; the stocking-thighed ostrich, the world's
largest bird; and small parties of ground hornbills
blustering like turkeys.
More
ardent bird-lovers might keep an eye open for screeching
flocks of the dazzlingly colorful yellow-collared lovebird,
and the somewhat drabber rufous-tailed weaver and ashy
starling – all endemic to the dry savannah of
north-central Tanzania.
Guided
walking Safaris
Day
trips can be made to Masai and Barabaig villages, as
well as to the hundreds of ancient rock paintings in
the vicinity of Kolo on the Dodoma Road.
Getting
there
Easy
drive from Arusha or Lake Manyara following a surfaced
road to within 7km (four miles) of the main entrance
gate; can continue on to Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti.
There are Charter flights from Arusha and the Serengeti.
When
to go
Year
round but dry season (June - September) for sheer numbers
of animals.
