Slightly off the popular northern Tanzania Safari Circuit, the park lies between the meadows of Masaai Steppe to the south east and the lakes of the Great Rift Valley to the north and west.

Ranking as the 6th largest National Park in Tanzania and covering an area of 2,600 square kilometers, The Tarangire National Park is most popular for its large elephant herds and mini-wildlife migration that takes place during the dry season which sees about 250,000 animals enter the park.

Tarangire rivals the Serengeti in its great number and diversity of wildlife. It is a good choice for travellers who wish to encounter more animals and less tourists while on safari. The landscape is of particular interest too, due to the high number of scenic baobab trees.

Its marshes, which dry out into verdant grassy fields during the dry season, draw great herds of elephant, buffalo, antelope and other plains game. Lions and other predators are frequently spotted. The park boasts over 500 species of birds, including some species endemic to Tanzania.

Away from the busier north, the southern end of the park is home to camps that specialize in walking safaris, allowing their guests to immerse their senses in the experience of exploring the African bush on foot.
