Tarangire Wildlife Safari

Safari summary

What animals are in Tarangire National Park?
Tarangire National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is renowned for its diverse wildlife and picturesque landscapes. As one of Tanzania's finest safari destinations, Tarangire is home to a remarkable array of animals, offering visitors an unforgettable safari experience.

The Iconic African Elephant
Tarangire is famous for its large population of African elephants. During the dry season, from June to October, these majestic creatures gather in large herds around the Tarangire River. Witnessing herds of elephants moving gracefully through the park's iconic baobab trees is a sight that captures the essence of African wildlife.

Predators of the Savannah
The park is also home to a variety of predators, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Lions are commonly spotted lounging on rocky outcrops or prowling through the grasslands in search of prey. Leopards, though more elusive, can sometimes be seen resting in the branches of acacia trees, while cheetahs showcase their incredible speed during hunting expeditions.

Antelope Species and Other Herbivores
Tarangire National Park boasts a rich diversity of antelope species. Visitors can encounter graceful gerenuks, which are known for their ability to stand on their hind legs to reach higher branches, as well as herds of impalas, elands, and lesser kudus. The park is also home to buffalo, zebras, and wildebeests, which contribute to the dynamic ecosystem of Tarangire.

Birdlife in Tarangire
Bird enthusiasts will delight in Tarangire's impressive birdlife, with over 500 species recorded in the park. During the wet season, the park becomes a haven for migratory birds such as yellow-collared lovebirds, African fish eagles, and lilac-breasted rollers. The varied habitats, from riverine forests to open grasslands, provide ample opportunities for birdwatching enthusiasts to spot both resident and migratory species.

Unique Wildlife Encounters
In addition to the more commonly seen animals, Tarangire offers opportunities to observe lesser-known species such as the fringe-eared oryx and the secretive greater kudu. Giraffes, with their elegant necks and distinctive markings, can also be spotted wandering the savannah alongside warthogs and dik-diks.
