The park is also home to powerful predators such as lions, elusive leopards, and fast-moving cheetahs. Bird lovers can enjoy spotting a wide range of bird species, while other fascinating animals like ostriches, pythons, monkeys, and buffaloes add to the rich biodiversity that makes Tarangire a remarkable safari destination.
Apart from elephants, Tarangire is a paradise for bird lovers. From parrots, hornbills, lovebirds and lilac breasted rollers to Kori bustards, eagles and vultures. The swamps in Tarangire National Park have one of the largest number of breeding bird species in the world. In the area around these swamps you can also see lions, leopards, cheetahs and even tree-climbing pythons.Mount Meru is located within Arusha National Park. This dormant volcano is Tanzania’s second highest mountain at a height of 4,566 meters (14,990 feet). It is a beautiful, but challenging mountain to climb. The panorama views from the summit over the steppes of the park, Mount Kilimanjaro and the Momella Lakes are spectacular. A day hike on Mount Meru gives you another perspective and offers a nice change.
Tarangire is one less known parks in Tanzania, but it still has an authentic safari atmosphere. The hilly landscape scattered with huge Baobab trees against the blue sky is breathtaking.
Our guests love Tarangire mainly due to the abundance of elephants and huge Baobab trees. Tarangire is fairly huge and there is a lot to see. Experts recommend to spend one day in the north and one day in the remote south of the park.
Tarangire is a great year round park for game viewing. Especially during the dry season (June – October) when animals gather around the main water source in the area, the Tarangire River. Lots of animals migrate out of the park during the rainy season (April-May) due to the black cotton soil that’s bad for their hoofs.
