Luxury holidays in Tarangire National Park

Thick with baobab and rich with wildlife, Tarangire National Park in northern Tanzania is a quiet, remote alternative to everyone’s-favourite Serengeti. It’s named after the river that winds across its scenic terrain, providing water for big cats, elephants, kudu and hundreds of bird species. Safaris take many forms here: walking, driving, nighttime, hot-air balloon; each offering a unique insight into this conservation-proud region.

When to go

Tarangire National Park has potential for safaris throughout the year, except from mid-March to mid-May, when most camps close due to heavy rains. July to October is dry, mild and your best bet for prime game viewing.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Connections from Kilimanjaro, Arusha or Dar Es Salaam airports arrive at Kuro Airstrip, about an hour’s drive from the park. Your chosen safari stay can arrange road and air transfers for you.

    Driving is best left to your safari guides and camp hosts.
