Tanzania’s birdlife can be enjoyed all year long, but from November to April, the country welcomes thousands of migratory birds from Europe and Asia, enriching its skies and wetlands. During the June to October dry season, open landscapes make it easier to combine exceptional birding with classic wildlife viewing.

Whichever season you choose, the mornings will greet you with music a living soundtrack of trills, whistles, and wings.

Imagine waking to the call of weaverbirds and the gentle hum of the bush.

As the first light touches the horizon, your guide leads you through forests or along lake edges, binoculars in hand, scanning for flashes of movement. Every sighting feels like a reward, a roller bursting into color, a bee-eater catching light mid-flight, or a heron poised like a statue by the water’s edge.

Evenings are for reflection ,perhaps a riverside sundowner as the air fills with the calls of nightjars and the distant hoot of an owl. Each day unfolds with discovery, connection, and wonder.

Your honeymoon deserves something truly special. A safari is not just a journey it’s a shared adventure that deepens your bond and creates memories that will last a lifetime.

Celebrate love where the wild things roam. Experience romance, adventure, and magic together, on a Honeymoon Safari.

are numerous resident animals that remain inside Tarangire National Park year round. Resident herbivores that you will likely encounter any time of year include elephant, mongoose, giraffe, bushbuck, rock hyrax, hartebeest, dik-dik, impala, waterbuck, warthog and reedbuck.

Elephants are both migratory and resident; although some elephants leave, most stay inside the park year round. Primates include olive baboon, vervet monkey and bushbaby. Hippo and black rhino have been unfortunately poached to local extinction in Tarangire. With a little luck you may encounter some rare antelope species such as lesser kudu, eland and fringe-eared oryx. Another rare animal that has recently been seen again in Tarangire is the African wild hunting dog.

Carnivores include lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and jackal. Lions are abundant in Tarangire and are regularly encountered. It is possible to see large prides during the drier months when they are more stationary by the Tarangire River and swamps. Tarangire also affords surprisingly good leopard viewing with many safaris recording at least one leopard sighting on an average two-day visit to the park. On the other hand, cheetahs live at low densities in Tarangire and are only seen once or twice a year. African wild hunting dogs occupy Tarangire from time to time as well as the surrounding areas in the Maasai Steppe; the African wild hunting dog is critically endangered and since the mid 1990s has only been seen occasionally in the northern parks of Tanzania with the exception of Tarangire and the Northern Serengeti.
