Day by day

Tarangire National Park Safari

After an early breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch. Elephant herds dig in the dry riverbed while wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland gather at the shrinking lagoons. Dinner and an overnight stay at the African Igloo with panoramic views — stay out for the sunset.

Main Destination

Best Time To Visit
July to November — dry season brings wildlife to the Tarangire River
High Season
June to October — the busiest months
Best Weather
June to October — dry, sunny days

Tarangire is at its best in the dry months, roughly July to November, when animals gather along the river. Outside that window wildlife disperses with the rains and game drives become quieter.
