Loved the park and should be included on every safari to tanzania. Really enjoyed the elephants and birds. What variety and there were so many. if you haven't seen a yellow collared love bird then this is the place to go. The trip made bird watchers of the whole family. More

Incredibly beautiful landscape, hills with huge baobabs, lots of wonderful elephants, unfortunately millions of tse tse flies after and during rainfalls! Really a place to visit but perhaps not in the rainy season because of the flies. More

We spent two days in Tarangire and were very glad that we included it in our itinerary. We saw an incredible number of elephants in both large and small groups which was important to us. The landscape was varied and interesting and the park was not crowded at all. More

We visited when this park is not at its peak (it's best to visit during the dry season), but we still thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The views alone are worth it but we also had close encounters with zebra and elephants which made it even more special. Absolutely a must do when on a Northern Circuit safari. More

We saw a large herd of elephants, 100+, walking along the ridgeline. It was amazing to see such a large number of mega fauna grouped together. A friend we met a camp said that was nothing, you should have seen Amboseli back in the day, 1000 elephants. More

Wow, if you want to see elephants, this is the place to come. Last year I even saw wild dogs here - and the baobab trees are picture perfect. There are tse tse flies here, but it didn't deter me and it shouldn't deter you, this is a fact of life, and to miss it because of that, is doing... More

The elephants are the show stoppers. Hundreds and hundreds of elephants grace the riverbanks, hills and grasslands - herds of all sizes. In Tarangire you have a chance to see these magnificent animals up close, and to truly be among them. More
