Tour Overview

Tarangire is the least visited of the parks along Tanzania’s northern circuit, and it’s a crying shame. The park’s large elephant population, iconic Baobab trees, and diversity of wildlife make it one of the best parks in the country for taking breathtaking photos or simply basking in the beauty of the world’s largest land mammals.

Game drives through Tarangire are particularly thrilling during the dry season when the animals of the park must cluster closer and closer to the Tarangire River. This offers a great opportunity to see plenty of animals in one place and to witness the predator-prey relationship in action.

Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Moshi - Tarangire National Park

We will collect you from your hotel in Moshi/Arusha and following a 2-4 hour drive, you will arrive at the Tarangire National Park. In this region, Hemmingway often went on big game hunting safaris. After the formation of the national parks in 1970, they turned the seasonal marshes and the endless savannah that one sees today into, once again, profitable hunting grounds. Today however, cameras thankfully have replaced the elephant guns. The Tarangire National Park has the highest density of elephants in North Tanzania and you can view these animals all year round in which the herds often can reach an impressive number of 300 animals.

The Tarangire River has water all year round and during the dry season, between July and October, many animals from the surrounding areas come to the river for drinking. If you visit the park during the dry season, you will witness an unforgettable natural wonder as you can observe wonderful creatures such as lions, giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeests and zebras as well as various types of antelopes and gazelles and with a little luck, you can also spot a python! This area is during the dry season also a haven for bird watchers with over 550 different species including the Masai Ostrich -the world largest bird. Around lunchtime, you will stop at a suitable picnic place before the afternoon is dedicated to more wildlife watching. Before sunset, you will be taken back to your hotel in Arusha.

A great Kilimanjaro experience I have recently climbed Kilimanjaro with Brighton and his crew and I had an outstanding experience. The meals were always amazing, lots of food as well. One of our guys struggled a little with altitude sickness, but everyone made sure that he will make it up the top, but all in a safe manner. Brighton is a very knowledgeable guy in the area and has been running Kilimanjaro tours for a very long time and you can see and feel his experience in any possible way. I can’t recommend him and his crew enough!

Hiking Kilimanjaro I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to climb up Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route. Although the trek was challenging- especially getting to the summit, it was lots of fun and I had the chance to experience some spectacular scenery and nature along the way. The support of all the team was first class and I would recommend this for anyone considering taking up the Kilimanjaro challenge!
