Activities to do in Tarangire National Park

Activities available in the Tarangire National Park include those which give guests a total grasp of wildlife and its landscape of this place. Travellers keen on traditional game drives, guided nature walks or cultural interactions can all find it in Tarangire.

Game Drives

A central aspect of any game drive in Tarangire is the classic game drive. A game drive is usually conducted in a 4×4 safari car, accompanied by an experienced guide who will be in a position to spot animals, including having knowledge of the park’s ecosystems nana. Game drives are best conducted in the morning and late afternoon as animals move about most during the cooler parts of the day. You could also go selfdriving, but it is suggested to hire a guide to get the best wildlife sightings.

Walking Safaris

A walking safari is a special way to experience Tarangire in a very different way, and is better for the avid walker. These guided walks, led by an armed ranger, take visitors through the bush and let visitors track animals while learning about smaller creatures and identifying bush species that support the wildlife of the Park. Walking safaris enable a closer connection with nature and give you a better chance to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of African wilderness.

Night Game Drives

Night game drives are allowed in Tarangire, a rare opportunity for traveling after dark, as most game drives in Tanzania are limited to daylight hours. It is at this time when most nocturnal species: leopard, civet, genet, etc. and bush babies emerge. And night drives are very different from day drives giving you a completely different perspective of the park and a chance to see the elusive animals that you hardly ever see by day.

 Cultural Tours

Visits to nearby Maasai villages can be arranged for travelers curious to know more about the culture. On these cultural tours you will get to see how the Maasai have adapted a life style based in the traditional way they have lived with the wildlife for hundreds of years. The visitors can learn about the Maasai custom and participate in traditional dances, selling handmade crafts as their souvenirs.
