Elephant Springs
Tarangire National Park
Accommodation
Tarangire Elephant Springs located within Tarangire National Park, renowned for its abundant elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. The lodge combines modern design with traditional African aesthetics, providing a stylish and authentic safari experience.
The lodge features 8 spacious suites with large windows, private balconies, outdoor showers and bathtubs. Further 4 rooms are interconnecting and can be booked as 2 family rooms.
Location
Tarangire National Park is situated some 120 km south of Arusha and renowned for its huge herds of elephant and many majestic baobab trees. The drive from Arusha to the park entry gate takes about two hours, from where it is a game drive of approximately 1.5 hours to reach the lodge. The lodge can also be accessed by plane from Arusha to Kuro Airstrip (25 min), followed by a 30-minute drive to the lodge.
Tarangire Elephant Springs is situated inside the National Park near Poacher’s Hide, an area known for its abundant wildlife. Moreover, it overlooks natural springs that serve as a vital water source during the dry season. Here, elephants, zebras, and antelopes frequently gather, providing guests with incredible wildlife sightings right from the lodge.The location of the Lodge provides guests with the unique opportunity to witness wildlife and explore the natural beauty of Tarangire National Park right from the start of their safari. Camps that are located outside the park need to pass the main gate each and every time they access the park, which minors the safari experience in our opinion.
Wildlife
Although this park is quite a bit smaller than say the Serengeti, the concentration and variety of wildlife is immense. During the dry months from July to October, some of the highest concentration of wildlife of any park in Tanzania can be found. Lion, leopards, cheetahs and even the rare caracal are hunting here. Buffaloes, giraffes, impala, eland antelope, kudu, waterbuck, gazelle, oryx and many other species are abundant.
The Tarangire River flows continually through the park, even during the dry season. Large concentration of animals can now be seen along the river and at various waterholes. From July, many elephants migrate from the surrounding areas into the park and refresh themselves in the cool waters of the Tarangire river and the many swamps of the park.
