Tarangire National Park Expedition

Tarangire National Park - Tanzania

  • November 1st - 10th 2027

  • 6 guests max

  • $7000 USD/Per Person

If you want to combine both Tarangire National Park and Serengeti National Park, this will be offered at a discounted package rate!

Tarangire National Park is known for its elephant herds, iconic baobab trees, and diverse wildlife immersed in a savanna landscape. During the dry season, animals gather along the Tarangire River, creating incredible wildlife viewing opportunities to spot lions, giraffes, zebras, and hundreds of bird species. What makes Tarangire special is its quieter, less crowded atmosphere compared to other parks, offering a more intimate and authentic safari experience surrounded by natural beauty.

Group size will be max 6 people for a more intimate experience and flexibility for space in the vehicles. Our schedule is flexible to make the most of each day on safari. Most mornings we head out early with a packed breakfast so we can spend extended time out in the bush without needing to return to camp. Each evening drive we also bring along our own sundowner drinks, giving us the freedom to pause and enjoy the landscape wherever the day’s adventure takes us.
