Tarangire National Park

A true hidden gem on Tanzania’s northern safari circuit, Tarangire National Park is famous for its towering baobab trees, large herds of elephants, and wild, untouched beauty. Spanning over 2,600 square kilometers, Tarangire is a seasonal sanctuary that comes alive during the dry months, when thousands of animals migrate to the Tarangire River — the park’s lifeline.

Unlike the more crowded parks, Tarangire offers a quieter, more intimate safari experience. Visitors are often rewarded with sightings of tree-climbing lions, massive elephant gatherings, rare species like the fringed-eared oryx and greater kudu, and over 550 species of birds — making it a dream for birdwatchers and nature photographers alike.

WildMyth Adventures curates custom safaris that include morning and evening game drives, walking safaris, and luxurious camp stays near the park. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, family, or solo explorer, Tarangire offers authentic adventure with a peaceful atmosphere and rich wildlife diversity.
