Tarangire National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is renowned for its large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and seasonal migration of wildlife. Covering about 2,850 km², it's named after the Tarangire River, a vital water source during the dry season. The park is home to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and over 550 bird species, making it a top destination for both game viewing and birdwatching. Its diverse landscape includes savannahs, swamps, and woodlands. Tarangire offers fewer crowds than Serengeti or Ngorongoro, making it perfect for a peaceful safari. Activities include game drives, walking safaris, and cultural visits to nearby Maasai communities. It's best visited in the dry season (June–October) when wildlife gathers at the river. Tarangire is easily accessible from Arusha and is often part of Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. Lunch (Breakfast & dinner not included) Non-alcoholic drinks

Arusha National Park

This was our second time using Tanzania Songbirds Safaris. Isreal and Daudi didn't disappoint. They were so knowledgeable about the animals and land. The walking section definitely made the day perfect. Lunch at the lake was amazing and were the views. I appreciated our game driver's cadence for stops. We had a ton of great sightings and close encounters.

Do yourself a favor and book that excursion you’re considering!

You will not be disappointed when you book with Tanzania Songbirds Safari. The operators are generous with their time, knowledge, and care. Our team of 8 was attended to like family and it made a fabulous safari even more magical! We visited Arusha National Park, where we saw animals from the vehicle AND walked among them. Being on foot for safari in this beautiful land is a must if you have the opportunity! From start to finish, Israel was attentive and helpful. I have been on many excursions, safaris, adventures, etc and if you are in Arusha and looking for a perfect event, book with Israel. Look no further, feel confident in booking with them.

Israel is caring, considerate and great spotter!

On my first trip to Tanzania I went on two Safaris. My experience w this tour group was amazing! Professional and caring are just two words to describe this company and the leaders who run it. We had an orientation the day before. Our driver was fantastic and also a great spotter! Israel was our guide and did a great job finding animals. He was full of information about the park and the wildlife we encountered. I will be back in Tanzania next year and will definitely hire this company for any and all expeditions and tours.

A must do experience!

We did a single day safari in Arusha National Park with Israel and Daudi as our guides, I’m sorry to say that I cannot remember our drivers names but that’s not because they weren’t exceptional I’m just bad with names. The entire team was top notch! On the drive to the park they asked us questions to get to know us, including what animals we would love to see, and once in the park both the guides and the drivers were so good at spotting animals and remembering which animals we really loved and pointing them out. This was my favorite safari experience and I will be booking with them the next time I’m in Tanzania!
