Tarangire National Park

Ostriches, Kori bustards, hornbills, rufous-tailed weavers, and harsh starlings are some of the bird species you may encounter during your bird watching trip to Tarangire National Park. In fact, the park is full of different bird species, not only in abundance but also in diversity. Migratory birds from different parts of the world are present in the park, and you may encounter some of them around the swamp floodplains during your visit to Tarangire. Tarangire has never been a regrettable trip for bird lovers.

This is a unique kind of adventure as visitors get to see and view wild animals at a very close distance. No disturbance to animals as walking safari is quieter and cooler compared to game drive and this creates an advantage for visitors to get more close to wildlife. It’s an incredible kind of activity that makes visitors feel awesome. Visitors feel and smell the real taste of being in the bush, and this adds credit to making a trip notable. But also don’t forget, to make visitors comfortable and ensure their safety during nature walks, they should be accompanied by an armed ranger.

If you want to know the feeling of interacting with local people, Tarangire National Park is one of the parks where visitors get a chance to interact and feel like they are also local. Participating in local activities such as participating in and enjoying traditional dance, tasting local food, and even buying their local commodities and donating a little amount to them is an outstanding moment you will never ever forget. Maasai culture is mainly a cultural tourism experience and activity in Tarangire National Park.

Tarangire national park can be visited all year round though the best time is during the dry season also known as the peak season in the months of June to October and December to February. During the dry season there is little rainfall in the park therefore roads to Tarangire national park will be easily accessible, vegetation will be thin which helps you to clearly view animals and most wildlife species will gather around the water sources to drink water hence offering breathtaking wildlife views and also an opportunity to take incredible photos.

Tarangire national park can also be visited in the wet season also known as the low season during the months of March to April and November because that’s the best time for bird watching when bird lovers will be able to spot colorful and migratory bird species from Europe and North Africa.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area shares its northwestern border with Serengeti National Park. The two protected areas share an ecosystem, and have no fence between them. In fact, only a dirt road marks the boundary.

This being the case, many of the wildebeests, zebras and antelopes that form the Great Wildlife Migration move into the northwestern section of NCA around Lake Ndutu in summer to enjoy its nutrient-rich grasses.

The flat plains ecosystem near Ndutu Lake lets you see far and wide. This makes game viewing very exciting!

The time of year for a stellar Lake Ndutu safari is summer: January to March. Lake Ndutu and its surroundings are also very green and pretty, with lots of flowers, at this time of year.
