Tarangire retains an air  of undiscovered Africa. It is less visited than other northern Tanzanian  parks and it is a haven for birds. 550 bird species, the world’s  largest selection found in one habitat find their home in Tarangire. The  stocking-thighed ostrich, the world’s largest bird, might greet you in  its party dress of plumes!

Wildebeest Migration – July to October:
