About The Park

Tarangire National Park is found in Manyara region which is located to the northern circuit of Tanzania. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River that crosses the park. The River is the primary source of fresh water for wild animals in this park’s ecosystem especially in the dry seasons of the year. The Tarangire Ecosystem is defined by the long-distance migration of wildebeest and zebras. It covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers (1,100 square miles.) The landscape is composed of granitic ridges, river valleys, and swamps. Vegetation is a mix of Acacia woodland, Combretum woodland, seasonally flooded grassland, and baobab trees. Visitors can see colonies of these incredible trees that are more than 100 years old.
