Gorilla Page Safaris invites you to discover Tarangire National Park – Tanzania’s Elephant Paradise.

Located in northern Tanzania, Tarangire National Park is a hidden gem that captivates visitors with its breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife. Covering nearly 2,850 square kilometers, the park is most famous for its large elephant herds, often seen strolling gracefully across the savannah or gathering near the Tarangire River, the park’s lifeline.

The scenery here is striking—rolling plains dotted with ancient baobab trees, acacia woodlands, and seasonal swamps create a dramatic backdrop for game viewing. During the dry season, from June to October, Tarangire becomes a wildlife haven as animals migrate from surrounding areas in search of water. This is when visitors can witness massive herds of elephants alongside wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, and even predators such as lions and leopards. The park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 500 bird species, including colorful lovebirds and the rare Kori bustard.

Unlike some of the more crowded safari destinations, Tarangire offers a quieter, more intimate safari experience. Visitors can enjoy game drives, guided walking safaris, and cultural interactions with nearby Maasai communities, making the visit both adventurous and enriching.

For travelers seeking an authentic, off-the-beaten-path safari, Tarangire National Park is a destination that combines wildlife diversity, iconic landscapes, and true African wilderness charm.
