The DestinationMore than a place.
More than a place.
A feeling.
When surrounding areas become drier, wildlife may concentrate around available water sources in Tarangire. Elephant numbers and other sightings vary with rainfall, season and local conditions. The park is also known for diverse birdlife.
Quieter than its northern neighbours, Tarangire rewards those who linger.
