Welcome to tarangire national park

One of Tanzania's best national parks, Tarangire is situated between the Great Rift Valley's lakes to the north and west and the masai steppe to the south and east. The 2600 square kilometer park is home to a wide range of wildlife species and offers fantastic lodging options for those taking a Tanzania safari tour.

One of the national parks in the northern Tanzania circuit is Tarangire National Park, which is located in Tanzania. This location, which is only a short drive from Arusha, is also close to other places to see wildlife, such Lake Manyara National Park. The national park's name, Tarangire, derives from the Tarangire river, which runs through it. The river serves as a key supply of water for several wildlife species, especially during the dry season.

ATTRACTIONS IN TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

One aspect of the Tarangire environment is the remote Silale Swamp. The swamp functions like a giant sponge during the green season, absorbing up water that is then gradually released during the dry season. Huge herbivore herds that are in quest of water overrun the park, bringing lions, leopards, and wild dogs with them. These wetlands are home to elephants, African wild dogs, cape buffaloes, and siale-swamp lions. Some of the bird species that can be seen in this region include the Donaldson-nightjar and Smith's Vulturine Guinea fowl.

 

The giant baobab tree

Another notable element in Tarangire National Park is the baobab tree, also referred to as the "Tree of Life." Over time, the baobab has changed to fit its environment. It is a succulent, which means that during the rainy season, water is collected and stored in its enormous trunk. This allows it to produce fruit that is rich in nutrients during the dry season, when everything else is dry and barren. It earned the moniker "The Tree of Life" as a result.

It has a "gigantic" trunk with a 300-liter water capacity. They can live up to 600 years, which is a long lifespan. This tree's edible seeds are an important source of food for many different species. Elephants, on the other hand, use the bark of these trees to sharpen their enormous tusks. According to tradition, these trees could easily migrate throughout the African continent, but because God was displeased with their aimless movement, he decided to place them upside-down in order to stop them from migrating again.

Birding in Tarangire                                      

During your visit to Tarangire national park, take pleasure in viewing a wide variety of stunning and rare bird species. The marshes of Tarangire are home to roughly 550 diverse bird species.

Tarangire is located close to the southeast corner of Manyara National Park, around 120 kilometers from Arusha.

Only a few water sources exist in the Tarangire Region during the dry season, which lasts from June to October.

Since the scant and arid vegetation makes for superb animal viewing, including this park in your northern Tanzania safari.

Tanzania’s elephant population

The greatest population of elephants in Tarangire National Park, which is thought to be the highest in Tanzania, is one of the key draws that has contributed to the park's international fame. You'll come across large elephant herds of up to 300 elephants digging the dry riverbed of the Tarangire River in search of underground streams of water to quench their thirst as the dry season, which lasts from June to October, develops and the terrain becomes increasingly drier. However, because there are so many elephants living here, it is still possible to witness these land giants even during the rainy season. The entrance of the rains, on the other hand, gives lots of pastures and water, causing the animals to scatter across the park.

Poacher’s Hide

Tarangire Hill. The Poacher's Hide is a well-known old baobab tree that was once used as a hideout by poachers. It has a modestly concealed entrance and an inside chamber. One of Tarangire National Park's oldest trees, the Poacher's Hide baobab has a diameter of about 10 meters and is considered to be older than 300 years.

Lemiyon Triangle

Visiting this sight is another another must-do when on a safari in Tanzania's Tarangire National Park. Lemiyon is home to vast red-billed quelea flocks and huge baobab trees. This pristine area is tucked away in the far northern region of the park, forming a triangle zone. The most impressive type of vegetation in this area are the giant baobab trees that tower alongside the road with their enormous silver trunks and countless gnarled branches. Even people who are not bird watchers will be astonished by the sheer number of these powerful aerial carnivores in Lemiyon.

Tarangire River

The Tarangire River is a key component of Tarangire National Park. It provides water for the ecosystem of the park and is a great area to watch wildlife because animals congregate there to drink water, especially during the dry season.

The Tarangire River is a haven for many animals, including a sizable population of elephants, who come to the river banks to drink water and cool down from the sweltering sun during Tanzania's wildlife viewing safaris in Tarangire National Park. Elephants have been observed digging in the sand close to the Tarangire River in an effort to access underlying water. Among the animals that can be seen along the Tarangire River's banks are leopards, lions, wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, and gazelles.

Matete Woodlands

Matete offers fantastic leopard viewing as well as a chance to see the rare oryx antelope. The area gets its name from the tall elephant grass and thorny reeds that line the western bank of the river. Matete is the greatest site in the park to see leopards on a regular basis. These elusive cats are frequently spotted amid the branches of the acacia tortilla trees.

Kitibong Hill

One of Tanzania's national parks that attracts tourists to the greater North is the Serengeti National Park, which is located in the country's Northern region. Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park, and broader Serengeti National Park make up the northern tourist corridor. The Maasai word Siringet, which meaning an open, boundless plain, inspired the names of Serengeti National Park, Serengeti Tanzania National Park, and Serengeti Park Tanzania. The larger Serengeti ecosystem is created by the park's proximity to Ngorongoro in the south and Maasai Mara in the north.

Before the local populations were relocated to various portions of the Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Karatu districts, the four northern parks combined to form Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. Without visiting the Serengeti, a safari in Tanzania is not complete and you won't get the full Tanzanian experience. In addition to being known for the annual wildebeest migration, the Serengeti national park is home to a diverse range of animals and plants that together make up the Serengeti ecosystem.

Ngorongoro Crater. It features the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, the biggest crater in the world, and was established in 1959 as a diverse land use region where wildlife coexists with semi-nomadic Maasai pastoralists who practice traditional cattle grazing. Due to the presence of globally endangered species, the abundance of wildlife in the area, and the yearly migration of wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, and other animals onto the northern plains, the property is significant for the protection of biodiversity on a global scale. A significant body of evidence for the evolution of humans and the dynamics of the human-environment relationship has also been uncovered by extensive archaeological investigation, including 3.6 million-year-old hominid footprints.

The Serengeti National Park's northern grasslands, the eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley, and large stretches of highland plains, savanna, savanna woods, and forests are all included in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (809,440 ha). The region was formed in 1959 as a multi-use reserve, where wildlife and semi-nomadic Maasai pastoralists engaged in customary cattle grazing coexisted. It comprises Olduvai Gorge, a 14 km long deep gorge, and the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, the largest crater in the world. Due to the presence of globally endangered species like the black rhino, the abundance of wildlife that lives year-round in the Ngorongoro Crater and its surroundings, and the yearly migration of wildebeest, zebra, Thompson's and Grant's antelope, the property is significant for the conservation of biodiversity gazelles and other ungulates into the northern plains.
