Tarangire NP Sightings

Not only the vegetation is very diversified, but the large number of game is enormous too. The big five are present there and so are cheetahs and wild dogs. Besides those predators, many elephants, zebras, giraffes, southern elands and numerous other types of gazellas and antelopes can be spotted too. Fans of birds can have a great time as well : more than 450 species are present in Tarangire NP.

Furthermore, the park is not as touristic as Serengeti or the crater. During our first game drive, on an afternoon, after a delicious lunch, we nearly “stumbled” over the large number of elephants and we saw eating lionesses in a river-bed, close to a herd of drinking elephants. We also spotted a leopard, zebras, ostriches and a wide variety of other species of birds. In a word, Tarangire NP, is a park, worth staying various days. We sill surely return one day.

Thoughts about Tarangire

On entering the park, our Jeep was sprinkled with a preventive sterilant, which appeared to be against the tsetse fly, which apparantly shows up regularly in this area. Take measures when you want to stay in this park !

We should have visited this beautiful park longer. If you have the opportunity, please stay for a couple of days, because it offers a lot of variety in a relatively small area.
