Tarangire National Park, National park in northern Tanzania
The Tarangire River flows through 2,850 square kilometers of savannahs and woodlands, creating diverse habitats for numerous African wildlife species.
The Tanzanian government established Tarangire National Park in 1970 to safeguard the area's biodiversity and protect the vital migration corridors for wildlife.
The Maasai and Barabaig communities continue their traditional practices near the park boundaries, maintaining their connection with the surrounding landscapes.
The entrance fee of 45 dollars per person grants access to guided safaris, wildlife viewing, and bird watching between 6:30 AM and 6:30 PM.
The park houses ancient baobab trees that store thousands of liters of water, supporting the survival of 550 bird species and large elephant populations.

Tanzania provides photographers with an extraordinary range of subjects, from the Serengeti plains to Zanzibar's coastline and Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa at 19,341 feet (5,895 meters). The country contains major wildlife reserves including Tarangire, where elephant herds move between baobab trees, and the Ngorongoro Crater, which holds a dense concentration of large mammals within its 100-square-mile (260-square-kilometer) caldera. Coastal regions and offshore islands like Mafia and Pemba offer opportunities to photograph coral reefs, sea turtles, and traditional dhow boats. The Mahale Mountains support habituated chimpanzee groups, while Selous Game Reserve presents riverine landscapes and diverse animal populations. Stone Town's historic quarter features Arab, Persian, and Indian architecture spanning several centuries, including the House of Wonders and the narrow alleys of the former trading port. The less visited Katavi National Park delivers scenes of hundreds of hippos crowding shrinking pools during the dry season. Kondoa rock art sites preserve prehistoric paintings dating back as far as 30,000 years. The active volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai and alkaline Lake Natron with its flamingo flocks add geological interest. From the terraced hillsides of the Usambara Mountains to the wildflower meadows of Kitulo National Park, Tanzania covers nearly every photographic interest.
