Tarangire National Park is named after the Tarangire River that threads through baobab woodland in northern Tanzania, drawing wildlife from the surrounding Maasai Steppe during the dry season.
The park is celebrated for its cathedral-like baobabs, large elephant populations and over 550 bird species - often paired with Serengeti and Ngorongoro on classic northern itineraries.
Less crowded than its neighbours, Tarangire is perfect as a day trip from Arusha or the first stop on a multi-park safari.
