Tarangire National Park details
Tanzania’s Manyara Region contains Tarangire National Park. The Tarangire River, which runs through the park, gave it its name. During the yearly dry season, the Tarangire River serves as the main supply of fresh water for wildlife in the Tarangire Ecosystem. Wildebeest and zebras’ extensive long-distance migration is what gives the Tarangire Ecosystem its name. Thousands of animals from the nearby wet-season dispersal and calving zones congregate in Tarangire National Park during the dry season.
Around 2,850 square kilometres (1,100 square miles) of granitic mountains, river valleys, and wetlands make up the region’s landscape. Acacia forest, Combretum woodland, periodically flooded grassland, and baobab trees make up the vegetation.
Elephants are abundant in the park, which is also known for its baobab trees. During the dry months of June to November, visitors to the park can anticipate seeing vast herds of zebra, wildebeest, and cape buffalo. Waterbuck, giraffe, dik dik, impala, eland, Grant’s gazelle, vervet monkey, banded mongoose, and olive baboon are among other common residents. African wild dogs, lions, leopards, cheetahs, caracals, honey badgers, and other predators can be found in Tarangire.
The park is a sanctuary for bird enthusiasts, hosting more than 550 different species of birds. The termite mounds that dot the landscape in the park are also well-known. The dwarf mongoose frequently live in those that have been abandoned. 2015 saw the discovery of a leucism-related white giraffe in the park.
You will depart the park in the late afternoon and go to Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge for dinner and stay.
