Tarangire National Park
The Tarangire National Park portal is non-commercial and provides information on everything from wildlife, attractions, and activities to safari accommodation, when to go, how to get there, Tarangire Safaris & Tours, the Cost of a Tarangire Safari, and a travel blog.
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.
Slightly off the popular northern Tanzania Safari Circuit, the park lies between the meadows of the Masai Steppe to the southeast and the lakes of the Great Rift Valley to the north and west. Within the northern part of Tarangire is the permanent River Tarangire, also known as the lifeline of the park, particularly in the dry season when most of the region is totally dry. This flows northward until it exits the park in the northwestern corner to pour into Lake Burungi. There are several wide swamps that dry into green plains during the dry season in the south.
During your Safari in Tarangire, it is highly recommended that you stay for a couple of days, especially in the south of the park. This area offers a less crowded safari experience and gives you the opportunity to enjoy an authentic African feel of Tanzania’s countryside.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area spans vast expanses of highland plains, savanna, savanna woodlands, and forests. Established in 1959 as a multiple land use area, with wildlife coexisting alongside semi-nomadic Maasai pastoralists practicing traditional livestock grazing, it includes the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest caldera.
The property has global importance for biodiversity conservation due to the presence of globally threatened species, the density of wildlife inhabiting the area, and the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, and other animals into the northern plains. Extensive archaeological research has also yielded a long sequence of evidence of human evolution and human-environment dynamics, including early hominid footprints dating back 3.6 million years.
Spend two amazing days in these incredible parks. Day one is in Tarangire and day two will be in Ngorongoro.
