Tarangire Wildlife

Een kudde olifanten grazend in Tarangire National Park, wat hun majestueuze aanwezigheid in het wild laat zien.

Tarangire National Park is een van de beste plekken om wilde dieren te spotten in Tanzania. It is located in Northern Tanzania and is part of the famous Northern Safari Circuit, along with Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

Het park beslaat meer dan 2.850 vierkante kilometer en is vernoemd naar de Tarangire-rivier die er doorheen stroomt. Deze rivier is de belangrijkste waterbron voor veel dieren, vooral tijdens het droge seizoen. Dat is de reden waarom het wild in Tarangire zo actief is; veel dieren komen hier om te drinken, te eten en te rusten.

De wilde dieren in Tarangire National Park zijn een belangrijke reden waarom veel mensen voor een bezoek kiezen. Het park staat bekend om een van de grootste olifantenpopulaties in Tanzania. Je vindt er ook leeuwen, luipaarden, giraffen, buffels en meer dan 550 vogelsoorten.

Een van de meest bijzondere dingen aan Tarangire is de seizoensgebonden migratie van dieren. Tijdens de droge maanden (juni tot oktober) trekken enorme groepen zebra’s, gnoes en antilopen het park in op zoek naar water. Dit maakt het een spannende tijd om grote kuddes en roofdieren in actie te zien.

Het park is ook beroemd om zijn eeuwenoude baobabbomen, die hoog boven het land uitsteken en het park een unieke uitstraling geven. Al deze zaken maken de wilde dieren van Tarangire National Park tot een van de hoogtepunten van elke reis naar Tanzania. Lees dus snel verder om meer te weten te komen over de dieren in Tarangire en waarom dit park zo speciaal is.

Waarom is Tarangire een paradijs voor wilde dieren?

Tarangire is een geweldige plek voor dieren omdat het rivieren, moerassen, open graslanden en grote baobabbomen heeft. Deze verschillende gebieden bieden de dieren voedsel, water en schaduw.

De Tarangire-rivier is erg belangrijk, vooral in het droge seizoen. Wanneer andere plekken droogstaan, heeft deze rivier nog steeds water, waardoor veel dieren hier komen drinken.

Vergeleken met de Serengeti en Lake Manyara is Tarangire rustiger, maar nog steeds vol met wild. Het is beroemd om de grote groepen olifanten en de vredige gamedrives, wat het een speciale plek maakt voor natuurliefhebbers.

Welke wilde dieren kun je zien in Tarangire?

Tarangire National Park zit vol met prachtige dieren en elk bezoek voelt als een nieuw avontuur. Van grote olifanten tot kleurrijke vogels, dit park is de thuisbasis van veel verschillende soorten die leven in de graslanden, moerassen en rond de Tarangire-rivier.

Laten we eens kijken naar de soorten wilde dieren die je hier kunt zien.

  1. Olifanten in Tarangire

Tarangire is het meest beroemd om zijn olifanten. In feite heeft het het grootste aantal olifanten in Noord-Tanzania. Je ziet meestal grote kuddes, soms tot wel 300 olifanten, die samen door het park trekken.

Deze olifanten volgen seizoensgebonden migratieroutes. Tijdens het droge seizoen komen ze dicht bij de Tarangire-rivier om te drinken en te baden. Hun omvang en groepsgedrag maken ze gemakkelijk en spannend om te spotten tijdens een safari.

  1. Grote katten en roofdieren

Je kunt in Tarangire ook grote roofdieren zien, zoals leeuwen, luipaarden, jachtluipaarden en hyena’s. Leeuwen verplaatsen zich meestal in groepen en rusten overdag onder de bomen. Luipaarden zijn schuw en blijven vaak in de bomen, terwijl jachtluipaarden de voorkeur geven aan open gebieden om te jagen.

Hyena’s worden meestal vroeg in de ochtend of ’s nachts gezien. De beste tijd om deze jagers te zien is tijdens het droge seizoen, wanneer dieren zich bij het water verzamelen, waardoor het voor roofdieren makkelijker is om voedsel te vinden.

  1. Unieke en zeldzame soorten

Tarangire is ook bijzonder vanwege de zeldzame dieren die je in andere parken misschien niet ziet. These include the lesser kudu, fringe-eared oryx, gerenuk, and sometimes the African wild dog.

Deze dieren komen in veel delen van Tanzania niet veel voor, wat het zien ervan in Tarangire extra bijzonder maakt. Hun aanwezigheid draagt bij aan de waarde van het park als topbestemming voor wilde dieren.

  1. Vogels in Tarangire

Als je van vogels houdt, dan is Tarangire de plek voor jou. Het park heeft meer dan 500 verschillende vogelsoorten. Some popular ones include the yellow-collared lovebird, the kori bustard, one of the heaviest flying birds, and the beautiful lilac-breasted roller.

Vogels kijken is op zijn best tussen november en april, wanneer de trekvogels arriveren en het park vol geluid en kleur is. Moerassige gebieden en de rivier zijn de beste plekken om vogels te zien.

Migratie en seizoenen

De fauna in Tarangire verandert met de seizoenen. The best time to see many animals together is from June to October, which is the dry season in Tanzania.

Tijdens deze maanden wordt water in andere gebieden schaars, dus trekken dieren naar Tarangire vanwege de Tarangire-rivier, die nog steeds water heeft. Je kunt grote groepen olifanten, zebra’s, gnoes en antilopen zien die zich bij de rivier verzamelen. Dit is ook het moment waarop roofdieren zoals leeuwen en luipaarden dichtbij komen om te jagen.

In het droge seizoen zijn dieren makkelijk te spotten omdat ze allemaal dicht bij de waterbronnen blijven. Het land is droog en er is minder gras, waardoor niets de dieren verbergt. Daarom staat dit seizoen bekend als de beste tijd om wild te kijken.

Het is het regenseizoen van november tot mei. Het gras wordt hoog, de bomen worden groen en er zijn minder toeristen in het park. Many animals move out of Tarangire to find food elsewhere.

Maar dit is een geweldige tijd voor vogelliefhebbers, aangezien honderden vogelsoorten, waaronder trekvogels, het park vullen met kleur en geluid. Het park ziet er prachtig en vredig uit, ook al zie je misschien niet zoveel grote dieren.

Top safari-activiteiten voor natuurliefhebbers

Als je een natuurliefhebber bent, biedt Tarangire National Park enkele van de beste safari-activiteiten in Tanzania. Of je nu een ervaren reiziger bent of voor het eerst komt, er is voor iedereen wel iets spannends te beleven.

Ik zal een aantal topactiviteiten noemen die je in het park kunt doen.

  1. Gamedrives

Een van de populairste activiteiten in Tarangire is op gamedrive gaan. Hierbij rijd je in een 4×4-voertuig door het park op zoek naar wilde dieren. The park’s open landscapes make it easier to spot wildlife, and guides will help you find animals like elephants, lions, and giraffes.

De vroege ochtend en de late namiddag zijn de beste tijden om de meeste dieren te zien, omdat ze actiever zijn tijdens deze koelere delen van de dag.

  1. Vogels kijken

Tarangire is een paradijs voor vogelspotters. With over 500 species of birds, the park offers plenty of opportunities to see colorful and unique birds like the lilac-breasted roller and the yellow-collared lovebird.

Of je nu een beginner bent of een expert, vogels kijken in Tarangire is een onvergetelijke ervaring, vooral tijdens het regenseizoen wanneer trekvogels door het park trekken.

  1. Wandelsafari’s

Voor een avontuurlijkere ervaring kun je met een getrainde gids mee op wandelsafari. This gives you the chance to see the smaller details of the park, like the tracks of animals, plants, and insects that you might miss on a game drive.

Het is ook een veilige manier om meer te leren over hoe het ecosysteem werkt en hoe dieren in het wild leven. Wandelsafari’s vinden meestal plaats in de koelere ochtend- of avonduren.

  1. Nachtsafari’s

Een nachtsafari is een unieke manier om Tarangire te ervaren. After the sun sets, many animals come out to hunt or feed.

Je krijgt de kans om roofdieren zoals luipaarden en hyena’s te zien, evenals nachtdieren zoals uilen en civetkatten. Nachtsafari’s geven je een compleet ander beeld van het park, omdat de wilde dieren er in het donker anders uitzien en zich anders gedragen.

Beste tijd voor een bezoek om wild te kijken

De beste tijd om Tarangire te bezoeken voor het bekijken van wild is tijdens het droge seizoen, van juni tot oktober. Dit is wanneer de meeste dieren zich rond de Tarangire-rivier verzamelen om water te drinken, wat het makkelijker maakt om grote kuddes olifanten, zebra’s en gnoes te spotten.

Het gras is korter en er is minder begroeiing, waardoor de dieren beter zichtbaar zijn. Het weer is ook koeler tijdens de vroege ochtenden en late namiddagen, wanneer de dieren het meest actief zijn.

Als je liever de drukte vermijdt, is het regenseizoen van november tot mei ook een goede tijd om het park te bezoeken. It is harder to spot animals because they spread out across the park in search of food, so the park looks lush and green.

Dit is ook de beste tijd voor vogelspotten, aangezien veel trekvogels Tarangire tijdens deze maanden bezoeken. Het regenseizoen is vredig, met minder toeristen, wat je een rustigere safari-ervaring geeft.

Kortom, het droge seizoen is perfect voor het bekijken van wilde dieren, terwijl het regenseizoen prachtige landschappen en uitstekende mogelijkheden voor vogelspotten biedt. Beide seizoenen hebben hun eigen charme, dus de beste tijd voor een bezoek hangt af van het soort ervaring dat je zoekt.

Tot slot

Tarangire National Park is een van de beste plekken in Tanzania om wilde dieren in hun natuurlijke omgeving te zien. Het park heeft voor iedereen iets speciaals, van enorme kuddes olifanten tot zeldzame dieren en kleurrijke vogels. De rivieren, open vlaktes en rustige sfeer maken het perfect voor safari’s, gamedrives en vogelspotten. Of je nu in het droge of het regenseizoen komt, Tarangire biedt altijd een vredige en spannende wildervaring die je nooit zult vergeten.

A life-time experience We were on a family trip to Tansania and through a recommendation for a Safari operator we got in contact with Kilidove. And what can I say: Right from the moment Sam, our guide for the first week, picked us up at Kilimanjaro Airport, we were complety immersed. And yes, we were tourists, but never really feeled like, but more as guests, with Sam beeing the perfect host - a true lover of the animals and nature, an excellent driver and very attentive and open to share his experiences.

Incredible people! Trip of a lifetime! Kilidove is incredible!! We did the 6 day machame route on Kilimanjaro followed by a 4 day safari followed by 4 days in Zanzibar. The accommodations were amazing, the people were even better and we are both vegan and gluten free and they were able to accommodate (even on the mountain while camping). I cannot say enough good things about this company!! For the trek up Kili our chief guide was Colman and he was so kind, funny, and caring. Because of him we both had a successful and pleasurable experience summiting. He is an excellent guide! For our safari we had Jackson and we saw the big 5 plus every other animal you could think of. He was an excellent safari guide. We had one small hiccup on the trip in Zanzibar with a city tour that got cut a bit short. Notified the company and they were extremely apologetic, comped our dinner for the next 3 nights (which was completely unnecessary but much appreciated) and given a new tour guide for the next day. The trip then ran flawlessly. They most definitely made it right! They are amazing. I recommend kilidove to anyone and everyone for all your Africa adventures!!

Perfect job, and very trustful company to climb Kilimanjaro in a 6 people group Activity: climbing Kilimanjaro.We climbed Kilimanjaro in 7 days by the Machame road.Group of 6 people, with 3 guides 1 chef, 1 waiter and 18 porters (3/pax), which is the norm. Everything went well and we succeeded in our quest to the summit. The guides and all the Tanzanian people with us have been amazing, helpful, and nice ... Considering the lack of comfort and the difficulty of the ascension, we consider that they did a perfect job with the cooperation and the advice. Asante for everything you made for us, to make the dream coming true!!

Mr. Bonny at Kilidove is Amazing! We had Mr. Bonny from Kilidove pick us up from our Arusha hotel and serve as a private guide for 3 nights in the Seregenti, and our return trip back to Arusha. Mr. Bonny was an incredible guide! He was so knowledgable about all the animals and everything we saw on our safari. It was clear how much he loved the animals and at home he was in the Serengeti, having grown up right outside the park. He was able to spot animals so far in the distance, and find the elusive leopard in the tree that no one else could find. Mr. Bonny was engaging, kind and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. It truly was sad to say goodbye to him. I have to also note that Mr. Bonny was a very safe driver. When driving to/from Arusha, we were stunned by the number of safari vehicles speeding by us on the unsafe and rocky dirt roads. Driving in Tanzania is not for the faint of heart, as we witnessed a few accidents, including some cows being hit by a public bus. We were so grateful to him and would highly recommend!

Best safari experience! We spent our honeymoon in Tanzania for a 9 day safari trip in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks and it probably was the most incredible experience we had so far. The booking process was really comfortable and easy, Lisa answered all of our questions quickly and made the safari fit to all our wishes (not leaving the set budget out of mind).We especially want to thank our guide, Sam, for the amazing trip that was mostly his merit. He went above and beyond to ensure we got the most out of our trip. He had a profunde knowledge of all the locations and the wildlife and knew where the best spots for watching wildlife were. No wishes remained unfulfilled. Besides that, Sam was incredibly nice and a great (and hilarious) company during the long car rides. Everybody getting to do a safari trip with him can call themselves lucky!Thank you so much to the whole team, asante sana!

Superb in every way. Highly recommended and without hesitation! Choose Kilidove for the experience of a lifetime! We contacted Kilidove after an online search to find a company that could plan a month-long itinerary including Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania ending in Zanzibar to celebrate my 60th birthday. We received back a professionally presented proposal which we were delighted to find was a privately guided tour. Our only essential requirement was to see the mountain gorillas in Rwanda, but the proposal was comprehensive and varied including safaris as well as cultural experiences. We had to book our own international flights, apply for necessary visas and get certain vaccinations ourselves, but everything else was taken care of without a single hiccup. We stayed in a variety of accommodations from 5-star hotels and lodges to tented camps and they all enhanced our adventure in different ways. The main guides and drivers, Duncan, George and Boni were all professional, dedicated and enthusiastic. Our stand out experiences were obviously meeting the gorillas high up in the mountain in Rwanda, seeing the elusive leopard up a tree in Kenya, spending 90 minutes alone with a lion family complete with four cubs by a water hole in the Serengeti and two hours hunting with the Hadzabe tribe in Tanzania. There were many more, the cheetahs close up in the Maasai Mara and the hot air balloon ride, the many different bird species including huge flocks of flamingos and pelicans, the Karen Blixen Museum in Nairobi, the Genocide Memorial in Kigali, the cycling tour of Mto Wa Mbu, I could write a book! It was a very active holiday so it was nice to just chill out in Zanzibar for five days at the end. Everything was organised by the incredible Lisa Adams who was there to help with any questions via WhatsApp or email throughout the planning process and after we had arrived in East Africa. We were told there are 300+ safari companies in Arusha where she is based and for sure, without hesitation, we would highly recommend Kilidove to anyone. They were superb in every way. As well as that I have now clocked up my 87th country worldwide and my 13th African country. Thank you Kilidove for everything!

A memorable outstanding safari to Kenya and Tanzania , Hakuna Matata We just came back from a wonderful , well planned and organized safari to Kenya and Tanzania for 12 days and with an additional 5 days in Zanzibar from October 6th to October 23rd 2023. We really want to thank Lisa Adams who helped us plan and coordinate this memorable, private safari and leisure time in these countries. We had marvelous, respectful , reliable and so knowledgeable guides and drivers. First, Kelvin Vinkar from Dove Africa, the sister company in Kenya, was on time at the airport and despite the fact that we missed our connection with Qatar airlines, everything turned out quite well with the airlines personnel and we were on time for our schedule to go to our first park Amboseli and to Kibo safari lodge for two nignts. Perfect, we had game drives on both days that were unbelievable with the Kilimandjaro that was so clear. We were able to see so many species of animals such as girafes, elephants, zebras, Thomson's gazelles ,antilopes, impalas, waterbucks, cheetahs and lions with all their beauty and living environment. The Kibo lodge was very comfortable with beautiful views of the Kilimanjaro. We continued our itinary to lake Nakuru, 9 hours of driving and stopping at the incredible Great Rift valley. We were so happy to visit the park as we saw 2 rhinoceros, mother and baby , we were at our 4 th big 5 already . We were a bit late to arrive at the Ziwa Bush Lodge that seemed to be very nice, so quiet and peaceful, the staff accomodated us so nicely for one night, The next morning we left for the Maassai Mara reserve and Olengoti eco lodge at Narok at the Talek river . What a reception on arrival we got by all the staff, an incredible 2 days , having breakfast and dinner with the hippopotams and crocrodiles and beautiful and memorable game drive to the awesome Maassai Mara reserve , The plains are so beautiful and the animals are incredible. We were able to visit a Maassai village near the camp, memorable time with these beautiful people and children. We learned so much of their culture and habits. Kelvin with his calm and patience drove us safely for 5 hours through massai mara reserve to the border of Tanzania. We didn't have trouble to pass the border and customs and Bonnie , Boniphace Sospiter our incredible guide for Tanzania was already waiting for us for the take over. We were heading to the Serengeti park north side to Gnu migration camp. We were the only visitors , what a service we had . With a little of rain but a real blessing as David said. Marvelous meals and attention from the staff, We already start with a game drive that was so wonderful in Serengeti parks with all the beautiful Gnus and Zebras and the next morning a leopard our 5th big five that was missing so far, Bonnie was so knowledgeable, sensitive , very helpful and very accomodating to all our needs and ensure we see animals in all their behaviors of calm or hunting. He ensure in every camp that we always had our lunch to all game drives on long days. We loved so much all the Mawe lodges that we visit along our itinary in Serengeti and Norongoro crater, Karatu and Tarangire national parks. All the teams and personel of the Mawe lodges are so welcoming, so nice and so handsome . We loved everyone we met. Bonnie drove us to the airport after 7 days of intense safari games but so memorable in the savanah . We flew for internal flight to Zanzibar with flight link and other driver Luqman was waiting for us, and drove us to Tembo hotel, in Stonetown, so beautiful and confortable on the beach with a wonderful view of the port. The next morning we were able to have a visit of stone town that was very interesting to learn the history and culture, the big market. We could visit the Freddy Mercury museum. After we left for Pongwe beach hotel for 4 days that concluded in peace and rest at the marvelous beach and resort with excellent cuisine. We will always remember this wonderful trip of East Africa and Zanzibar and we are so happy to have chosen Kilidove safari and tours for planning the trip as everything went so well , so safely and so well organized and the choices of the lodge or camp were so confortable and we ate everywhere so well with an outstanding service with amazing staff. Thank you to every one we met in this incredible journey and you will always remain in our hearts. Hakuna Matata. Louise and Serge from Montréal, Québec, Canada.

"Bucket List Brilliance" We 6 Seasoned Safari Enthusiasts were blown away by The Serengeti Experience. The best decision was adopting Kilidove Tours to hang it all together. Lisa, your Admin. Management was perfect. (even to the extent of organizing a Birthday Party Cake in the Bush). Then there was our Driver/Guide and Friend Bonny, You are simply "The Best".Asante-sana.

5 Stars isn't high enough for Kilidove Tours My husband and I have recently returned from a 15-day private adventure designed and carried out by Kilidove Tours and Safaris. From start to finish this trip was planned and executed flawlessly thanks to the amazing team at Kilidove. On a scale from one to ten, they deserve a fifteen! I could write pages about our experience, but I will try to hit the highlights. From the first contact a year before our trip, Lisa Adams (Kilidove’s operations manager) responded to every question in a series of emails ranging from possible itineraries to vehicle maintenance. The result was the perfect trip that addressed every wish and concern on our list- safari start day in case of travel delays, safari locations, cultural experiences, snorkeling, and a beach retreat. Our safari guide mentioned several times how impressed he was with our personalized itinerary.Eleven months passed between the date we booked our trip and our departure for Tanzania. During that time whenever a question came up, I would send an email off to Kilidove and Lisa would respond immediately. We received guidance on packing lists, luggage limits, visa requirements, and availability of health services. All this information allowed us to be well prepared for our Tanzanian adventure.Once in Tanzania, each person we encountered did everything they could to make us feel at home and worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best experience possible. All the accommodations were clean and comfortable ranging from the Mawe tent lodges to the Zanzibar beach resort. Meals were tailored to an American/European pallet and the greatest care was taken to provide safe water and food in order to prevent any illness. Our drivers and safari guide were the most amazing people. The range of skills they possessed took us by surprise. They are professional drivers, multi-linguists, cultural ambassadors, and wildlife experts. Each one asked us what our wishes and desires were for our trip and work tirelessly to make sure we didn’t leave Tanzania disappointed. Above all they were warm and friendly people with whom we shared many laughs and special experiences. We are forever grateful to Johnson our Arusha guide, Luqman our Zanzibar guide, Habib our Stone Town guide and most importantly Samson our safari guide who showed us more of Tanzania then we could ever have imagined. Thank you all for your hospitality and kindness.Finally, I want to thank Lisa and everyone on the Kilidove team that made our dream vacation a reality. I know during our fifteen-day adventure she kept tabs on us, either through direct contact with me or one of our guides. She was always one step ahead of us making sure that transitions from one part of the trip to the next ran smoothly. I hope that I can return to Tanzania one day and I look forward to that time when we can work together once again.
