Tarangire NationalPark

Übersicht

Der Tarangire-Nationalpark ist vor allem für seinen dichten Bestand an Elefanten bekannt. Diese imposanten Tiere sind das ganze Jahr über in großer Zahl anzutreffen, am häufigsten jedoch in der Trockenzeit, insbesondere von Juli bis November. Zu dieser Zeit versammeln sich auch Zebras, Gnus und andere Wildtiere aus dem größeren Migrationsökosystem des Tarangire im Park und an seinem namensgebenden Fluss, der die einzige Trinkwasserquelle im Umkreis von vielen Kilometern darstellt.

Vögel & Vogelbeobachtung

Tarangire National Park is a great bird-watching site with more than 500 species recorded. The park harbors several dry-country species at the extremity of their range, such as the northern pied babbler and vulturine guineafowl. Serious bird-lovers should also keep an eye open for flocks of the dazzlingly colorful yellow-collared lovebird and the somewhat drabber rufous-tailed weaver and ashy starling. These three are all restricted to the dry savannah of north-central Tanzania. Migratory birds are present from November to April.
