Tarangire National Park - Seko Tours
Tarangire National Park is home to the largest elephant population in Northern Tanzania. An ideal location to visit during the dry season, as both predators and herbivores migrate here for the constant source of water..

Tarangire National Park got its name from the Tarangire River, which runs through the northern part of the park. This river becomes the main water source for animals in the park during the dry season.

It’s the sixth biggest national park in Tanzania, covering an area of 2,850 square kilometers. The park sits between the meadows of the Masai Steppe in the southeast and lakes in the north and west.

Tarangire’s landscape has granite ridges, river valleys, and swamps, with a mix of woodlands, flooded grasslands, and baobab trees.

Known as one of the seasonal parks in northern Tanzania, Tarangire National Park sees a lot of animals moving around within its large and diverse environment.

Interesting Facts about Tarangire National Park

From July to October, the dry season, Tarangire National Park is teeming with animals as wildlife, including large elephant herds, do not stray far from the river bed. Elephants need between 100 and 300 litres of water a day to survive and the holes they dig in the sands of the river are the only source for hundreds of miles of kilometres around. These holes attract other animals, who drink the water after the elephants have had their fill. If all the herbivores are in Tarangire, the great lions and leopards will soon follow to get their dinner, as well. Tarangire National Park also provides great opportunities for birdwatching: being the nesting grounds for a large number of bird species. The largest flying bird in the world, the Kori Bustard is often spotted here. Hornbills, the yellow-collared Lovebird as also endemic to the area. There are options for night safaris and short walking safaris for travellers who wish to spend a few days in Tarangire National Park.
