Tarangire was declared a national park in 1970 to protect seasonal migrations and key riverine habitats in the eastern Rift Valley.
Conservation
The park is central to elephant migration routes and works with local Maasai communities on grazing and anti-poaching measures; stay on roads and follow guide instructions to reduce disturbance.
