TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK, TANZANIA
At 2 600 square kilometres/1000 square miles, Tarangire is by no means the biggest of the Tanzanian parks, but its landscape of open plains dotted with thousands of baobabs makes for an unforgettable safari. Tarangire is also known for its tree-climbing lions, for its very large herds of buffalo and its predators tracking the vast herds of antelope.
ABOUT TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK
Tarangire National Park
A birding paradise, Tarangire National Park also boasts the endemic ashy starling, rufous-tailed weaver and black-collared lovebird. The dry season (approximately July – October) attracts large concentrations of wildlife as the Tarangire River is the only permanent source of water in southern Maasailand.
Tarangire is one of the few places in Africa where large herds of 300 or more elephants can be seen. Lion are readily seen, particularly during the dry season when huge herds of wildebeest and zebra arrive from the Steppe.
Swala Camp is nestled in a beautiful, acacia forest enclave at the edge of the gently rolling savanna in the southwest corner of the Tarangire National Park.
Astride the path of the elephant migration, Tarangire Treetops sits alone in a private game reserve bordering Tarangire National Park and the Maasai Steppe amid rolling, baobab-studded hills with stunning views to Lake Manyara, Mount Kilimanjaro and the spectacular Rift Valley wall. Treetops has a magical Never-Never Land feel appealing to anyone with a sense of fun and adventure.
Situated in a remote area of the park, in the middle of Tarangire's unspoilt wilderness zone. The camp is ideally placed to access the annual migrations of wildlife throughout the ecosystem, and to view the impressive concentrations at waterholes for a 6-7 month season each year.
