All About

Tarangire National Park

LAND OF GRACEFUL ELEPHANTS AND STUNNING BAOBAB-LINED LANDSCAPES.

Adventurous, Peaceful, And Picturesque

Tarangire National Park is a stunning and biologically diverse sanctuary, well-known for its large elephant populations and age-old baobab trees. Located halfway between the Great Rift Valley’s lakes and the Maasai Steppe, this park spans 2,600 square kilometres.

In particular, during the dry season, the park’s Tarangire River—its lifeline—attracts a varied array of animals. The southern section of the park provides a more peaceful and genuine experience compared to the busier northern sector. Long safaris and serene discoveries are made possible when expansive wetlands become verdant plains in the dry season.

History of Tarangire National Park

Established as a national park in 1970, Tarangire is one of Tanzania’s oldest and most significant conservation areas. Originally part of the Maasai Steppe Game Reserve, it was protected to preserve its diverse wildlife and prevent hunting.

Today, Tarangire remains a vital sanctuary, drawing thousands of visitors annually. The park’s history as a protected area highlights its importance for wildlife conservation and its role in showcasing Tanzania’s incredible natural beauty to the world.
