Tarangire National Park is in northern Tanzania, in the Manyara region south of Lake Manyara.

It is a good choice if you are looking for more animals and less

tourists while travelling.

Tarangire is a stunning protected area that boosts huge herds of

elephants, open plains and some stunning gigantic Baobab tress.

You are able to walk in Tarangire National Park. This to be done

with a ranger from the property you are staying at.

The name of the park originates from the Taragire River that

crosses the park. The Tarangire River is the primary source of fresh water for

wild animals in the Tarangire Ecosystem during the annual dry season. The

Tarangire Ecosystem is defined by the long-distance migration of wildebeest and

zebras. During the dry season thousands of animals concentrate in Tarangire

National Park from the surrounding wet-season dispersal and calving areas.
