Travelling around Tarangire National Park is an important part of your safari adventure. To see the park's animals and beautiful places, most visitors use a safari jeep. This way, you can go far into the park and see lots of wildlife.

Cost of Safari Jeep

A safari jeep costs about $250-300 each day. This price includes the jeep, fuel, and paying your guide. It also covers the park entry fees for the jeep and guide, plus food and a place to stay for your guide.

Saving Money

Renting the jeep for several days usually costs less per day than just renting it for one day.

Tips for Renting

Booking your jeep through a tour company, like Sumbi Extra Miles Safari, often saves money. If you rent a jeep on your own, it might cost more.

With Sumbi Extra Miles Safari, we make sure everything in Tarangire is easy for you. Our packages take care of all the travel details, so you can just enjoy watching the park’s elephants, lions, and birds. Let us handle the plans while you have fun exploring Tarangire National Park.

When you visit Tarangire National Park, you'll enjoy nice weather that makes exploring fun. The park has a Dry Season from June to October and a Wet Season from November to May. These times are considered the Best Time to Visit Tanzania and are great for seeing animals and nature.

Dry Season (June to October)

The sun shines almost every day, and it rarely rains, making it easy to see animals around water spots. But, it gets dustier as time goes on.

• June to August: It feels warm in the afternoons, around 24°C (75°F), but it gets cooler at night.
• September and October: It gets warmer, around 28°C (82°F), and when it finally rains a bit at the end of October, it feels nice.

Wet Season (November to May)

This time has two rainy periods, but they don't spoil the fun because it doesn't rain all day.

• November and December: There's some rain now and then, which makes the park look fresh.
• January and February: It stops raining for a while, which is nice.
• March to May: It rains more often, and it can get a bit chilly, especially in April and May.

No matter when you visit, Tarangire's weather adds to the adventure. In the dry season, you can see lots of animals in the waterholes. In the wet season, everything looks green and beautiful.
