Get to Know Tarangire
Explore the diverse landscapes and witness masses of animals and abundant birdlife in Tarangire National Park – a hidden gem of Tanzania. Experience the park’s renowned elephant herds, where large groups gather near the Tarangire River. This spectacle is a prime time to spot predator activity across the scenic woodlands and savannahs, offering clear views of the entire event. But Tarangire offers more than just its elephants. Embark on cultural tours to explore the vibrant Maasai villages, or take a guided walking safari to admire the baobab-dotted terrain up close. Make Tarangire your year-round safari paradise!
The best time to visit Tarangire is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife congregates around the Tarangire River and waterholes, making it easier to spot animals. The wet season, from November to May, offers lush landscapes and abundant birdlife but can make wildlife viewing more challenging.
You can reach Tarangire by road or air. The park is accessible by a 2-hour drive from Arusha. Several tour operators offer organized safaris to the park. Alternatively, you can fly into the nearby Kuro Airstrip, with scheduled flights from Arusha, Serengeti, and other locations.
Tarangire National Park offers a range of accommodations, including luxury lodges, tented camps, and budget-friendly campsites. Options include the Tarangire Safari Lodge, Tarangire Treetops, and the public campsites operated by Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA).
Visitors to Tarangire National Park can enjoy game drives, guided walking safaris, bird watching, and cultural visits to nearby Maasai villages. Night game drives are also available in some parts of the park, providing a unique opportunity to see nocturnal wildlife.

Alizey12122019-05-26Verified A trip to Ngorongoro We had an incredible tour with Katambuga Expedition Tours. Not only that everything was perfect but also we were well taken care of with our guides and the whole crew. They made us enjoy our vacation and we had a lot of fun. I would recommend Katambuga for your tours in East Africa because they make you feel comfortable and have the best of every moment with them. Once again thank you to the crew members for your guidance and support.Blessing!!!! Thierry Mounir2019-05-25Verified 3 days safari in Ngorongoro and Serengeti It was amazing! The guide was excellent! He could spot the animals and explain us the different scenes that we observed in the parks. The food that the cook prepared was good and the tents in which we slept were really okay, even though the mattresses were not the best. The cook was in charge of installing the tents and packing them, it was really enjoyable to not have to care about that. I would recommend to take some warm clothes for the night at the ngorongoro park, it can get really cold! Overall, everything was nicely organized and we really enjoyed the safari. We might have been lucky with the weather and the animals / scenes that we could see. What a wonderful experience!
