Tarangire National Park
The climate in Tarangire National Park is characterized by a dry season from June to October and a wet season from November to May. During the dry season, the park transforms into a wildlife hotspot as animals gather around the Tarangire River in search of water, providing excellent game viewing opportunities. The wet season, on the other hand, brings lush greenery and migratory bird species to the park.

Getting there
By Air
There is an airstrip at Kuro in the center of the Park with daily scheduled flights to all main safari destinations in Tanzania.
By Road
The journey from Arusha is on a good road and only takes about 1 1/2 hours to the Main Gate in the north. For this reason, safaris often begin here. There is also an entry gate at Boundary Hill on the eastern side of the Park to service people staying at camps and lodges in community areas outside the Park, and a gate at Sangaiwe on the western side with easy access from the main road to Dodoma.
