"Elephants' Playground"

Tarangire National Park

Known for its unique landscapes, diverse wildlife, and distinctive baobab trees, Tarangire offers an authentic and captivating safari experience that sets it apart from other destinations.

Tarangire National Park

Tanzania Northern Circuit

Located 120km from Arusha, Tarangire National Park is the sixth largest park in Tanzania and is a popular stop for wildlife safaris travelling through the Northern Circuit on their way to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. Most famous for its huge baobab trees, the park’s gentle rolling countryside is dotted with these trees, which seem to dwarf the animals that feed beneath them.

Landscape and Baobabs

Tarangire’s landscape is characterized by expansive grasslands, seasonal swamps, and riverine vegetation. One of the park’s iconic features is the presence of ancient baobab trees that dot the horizon. These massive trees, known as the “upside-down trees,” create an otherworldly atmosphere and provide excellent photo opportunities.

Birdwatcher’s Paradises

Tarangire is a paradise for bird enthusiasts, with over 550 bird species documented within the park. The diverse habitats, including swamps, woodlands, and open grasslands, attract a wide range of avian species, from the iconic lilac-breasted roller to raptors like martial eagles.

Wildlife Diversity

While perhaps not as famous as the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park boasts a rich array of wildlife. The park is home to large populations of elephants, often considered some of the largest in Africa. During the dry season (June to October), animals gather around the Tarangire River, making it a prime location for game viewing. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes, and various antelope species can also be spotted here.

Off-the-Beaten-Path Experience

Compared to some of Tanzania’s more famous parks, Tarangire offers a more tranquil and uncrowded safari experience. This allows visitors to connect with nature on a deeper level and enjoy the serene beauty of the wilderness without the crowds.

  Terriffic Tanzania
We had the most amazing, interesting and memorable adventure in Tanzania. We had a 12-days adventure meeting tripes, local people in the villages, safari tours, waterfalls and farms. We had Francis Boniphase as our guide during the entire trip. He is very friendly and is curious to learn and give his knowledge to us. We also met the owner of the Nyange (Praise Nyange) who gave us some awesome experiences on his farm.

  Made it with Nyange!
My son and I just reached the summit on the 8 day Lemosho climb with the fabulous crew of Nyange. Special shout out to our guide Amnaay and the assistant guide Henry, without whom we would not have succeeded. On summit day, they carried our day packs, kept us at a steady pace (believe me, that is a good thing), when at several points I was ready to give up. We were one of the first ones to get there just in time to watch to most glorious sunrise. Then, they pretty much held on to us on the rapid and harrowing decent. I found Nyange hightly recommened in Stedman's book. It is a small local outfit that supports KPAP. The owner, who was once a porter, even came to say hi to us during our last day in Moshi. There are lots of operators, a couple of them had huge groups of trekkers, and I am sure they all do a fine job, but I chose to go with a local company and I am so glad I did. And, don't let anyone tell you Kilimanjaro is easy. It was very, very hard!

  5 Day Tented Lodge Safari - 10/10 Experience
Heinrich arranged our trip and it was everything and more than expected. A once in a lifetime experience made better by Nyange. We celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday and they made it so special. They curated a special trip specifically for us, which made it extra special. Could not recommend more. We will be coming back to speak with them when we climb Mt Kilimanjaro! Heinrich provided 10/10 service from the day we spoke to the day we left. Our tour guide Toha was so knowledgeable and made the Safari a great experience. Would 100% recommend him and Nyange Adventures to anyone.

  The trip of a lifetime with Nyange Adventures
I cannot recommend Nyange Adventures enough. From the first email to the final descent off the mountain, Nyange Adventures took thoughtful care in ensuring our experience was flawless and fun. Nyange Adventures provided timely and detailed responses to every one of our group’s dozens of emails. They made to sure give us a thorough briefing before we left for the climb, they did a gear check to make sure we were prepared and gave us meaningful pep talks before and during the hike when they felt the group’s nerves running on high. They were extremely responsive when unexpected issues arose and made sure each of us was comfortable and taken care of through medical emergencies, concerns with sleeping arrangements, food allergies and the like. The care the team provided let our group fully immerse ourselves in the experience and be present in every moment. Nyange Adventures was so prepared as a company and prepared us so well that I felt confident from day one we would all successfully summit in good spirits. Oh and the food was delicious, too. They always provided more than enough of the tastiest food and I ate better than I do at home. Shoutout to our crew: Antipas, Mo, Baboon, Navia and Living for an indescribable and making us feel like we have a second family in Tanzania. Our experience was everything because of Nyange Adventures and I can’t wait to be back eventually to try out their spectacular new sustainable accommodations on their farm!

  Best safari guides on the savanna!
Nyange Adventures provided an excellent safari experience. I saw so many more animals than I expected! The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and seemed to truly love the game drives. While the guides worked hard to get us into the best viewing positions, our safety and comfort were also priorities.

  Amazing time on this safari adventure
We went for a 5 day safari which exceeded our expectations. We saw so many animals, made new friends and enjoyed incredible hospitality. Our guide Joshua was incredibly knowledgable, super pleasant to be with and generous with his time and information. He taught us so much about the wildlife and the country. He answered all our many questions. He is also an expert driver. Our accommodations were luxurious. I personally love the infinity pools that look over the Serengeti and the private outdoor showers. I can't recommend this tour enough.

  The best adventure ever
This trip was mindblowing and we made unpayable memories with our three kids. Rodger our guide was the best and with all his knowledge about the animals and the environment we also learnt a lot.
