Attention Elephant lovers! While the Tarangire National Park in Tanzania may not sound all that familiar, during the dry season, this overlooked treasure has the largest concentration of elephants in the world! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Additionally, the park is known for its abundance of baobab trees and beautiful stands of acacia tortilis trees – those flat-topped acacias you’ll probably know from films like ‘The Lion King’ or ‘Out of Africa’. As Tarangire is conveniently located near Arusha, it is a wonderful first safari stop on your Tanzania self-drive roadtrip. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Starting to consider a safari in Tarangire National Park? Then keep reading for more information!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best time to visit Tarangire for a safari<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In Tarangire National Park, animal concentration peaks between July and November to early December<\/strong>. During this dry season, Tarangire has the second-highest wildlife concentration of any Tanzanian National Park. From November to May, some of the game leaves the park. Herds of wildebeest and zebra head northwest to the Rift Valley floor and the vast open areas of the Maasai Steppe. Nevertheless, we have visited Tarangire multiple times throughout the year and consistently had a wonderful safari experience. <\/p>\n

How to get from Arusha to <\/strong>Tarangire<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tarangire is located 100 km southwest of Arusha, about 7 km off the main Arusha \u2013 Dodoma road. The turn-off at Kwa Kuchinja is signposted. The road is tarred and in perfect condition, and the journey from Arusha takes less than 2 hours. Are you a bit nervous about driving in Tanzania? Then, this journey makes an excellent first easy start.<\/p>\n

To make the most out of your Tanzania safari experience, we recommend including Tangarire in a 9-day itinerary, adding highlights such as Serengeti<\/a>, Ngorongoro<\/a>, and Lake Manyara<\/a> to your drive: <\/p>\n
