Promising massive elephant herds and less visitor traffic, Tarangire National Park safaris offer sensational game viewing experiences from June through November. During the main dry season, Tarangire National Park sees an ever-increasing number of animals concentrating at water sources, most notably at the Tarangire River, which runs through the heart of the park. With such a big number of prey animals throughout the park, Tarangire naturally attracts a variety of predators including all the big cats – lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Having so much to offer, Tarangire is one of the perfect spots for safari goers or photographers to observe (or photograph) the dynamics of the ecosystem where both predator and prey animals interact in pursuit of food and water.
But a Tarangire National Park safari is not just about dramatic, heavyweight game viewing. There are other features to this park, notably the best place in northern Tanzania to see the dwarf baobab trees. Tarangire is also considered a bird-watcher’s paradise with a bird count of an incredible 550 colourful species!
