Highly underrated, yet bursting with a dense wildlife population, it won’t take you long to appreciate just why we love Tarangire. During the dry season (June to September) thousands of animals including elephant, buffalo, giraffe, wildebeest, kudu, and the rarely seen oryx migrate from the dry Maasai steppe to the Tarangire River in search of water.

Lion, leopard and other predators follow, so be sure to charge your camera battery and empty your memory stick as some unique moments are waiting to be captured. With dramatic landscapes dominated by baobab trees, an enormous elephant population and over 550 varieties of bird, Tarangire offers visitors excellent game viewing opportunities.
