2 days Tarangire and Ngorongoro Safari is widely considered one of the most underrated National Parks on the continent where you will see Big 5 animals, as it is largely overshadowed by the more famous parks in the area such as Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
Nevertheless, this wildlife reserve has some of the most beautiful scenery. Its approximately 20,850 square kilometers large area is an astounding mix of granitic ridges, swamps, hills, rivers, and valleys. The national park is named after the Tarangire River, which is the main freshwater source for the ecosystem’s animals during the dry season.
Tarangire’s breathtaking beauty is further strongly defined by its dominant population of elephants and the majestic baobab trees, which is the reason the park is also called “Land of the Giants”.
Tarangire’s wildlife however is certainly not limited to these giants. The area is rich in migratory wildlife such as wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo, as well as predators such as lions, leopards and so much more. It is considered to be home to the greatest concentration of wildlife outside of the Serengeti ecosystem.
Its swamps are home to over 500 bird species, which is the most in one habitat anywhere in the world. Amongst those are the Kori bustard (the world’s heaviest flying bird) and the stocking-thighed ostrich (the world’s largest bird).
