Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my late parents Samson Manyenye Kabou and Helena Kiziku Kulima and my bothers that always encouraged my pursuit of education. Abstract Poaching is one of the major problems in wildlife conservation and management in the Tarangire ecosystem. Unfortunately it is not easy to identify poaching hotspots because poaching activities are dynamic and concealed in nature, thus there are no standardized methods to quantify them. This study used zebra poaching data as an indicator to human exploitation. The aim of this study was to identify risk areas for zebra poaching within and around Tarangire National Park, a core area of the Tarangire ecosystem.

    Page | 1 ​ Embark 3 Day Northern Tanzania Safari Extension - Moderate Tarangire National Park - Ngorongoro Crater - Lake Manyara 3 Days / 2 Nights Page | 2 ​ Jul 25 Day 1: Tarangire National Park After the Serengeti, Tarangire has the greatest concentration of wildlife in Tanzania and in the dry season the Tarangire River is a magnet for thirsty wildlife. Large herds of elephants and migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland gather and not surprisingly the predators follow. This is also the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as oryx and gerenuk are regularly spotted. Tarangire is also known for its spectacular baobab trees, and its breathtaking views of the Masaai Steppe and the mountains to the south. Located just a few hours drive from the town of Arusha, Tarangire is a popular stop for safaris travelling through the northern circuit on their way to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. The park extends into two game controlled areas and the wildlife are allowed to move freely throughout. Day Notes After morning breakfast, we will head to Tarangire National Park, a few hours out into the bush in Masai country – just three hours from our hotel. Located 120km from Arusha, Tarangire is the sixth largest park in Tanzania. With baobab and acacia trees, much like the Serengeti, Tarangire is home to legions of elephants, which inhabit this park in large herds. In the park you also find other game such as rhino, buffalo, eland, warthog, the fringe-eared oryx, lesser and greater kudu, gerenuk and a large number of impala.

  • The Mammals of Tarangire National Park
    THE MAMMALS OF TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK Tarangire National Park is a very good place for mammal watching. The varied habitat types means the park has a high diversity of mammal species, including some, such as Gerenuk and Lesser kudu, which are not found in other national parks in Tanzania. The number of species you see depends upon the timing of your visit. Tarangire is a migratory park, and during the rains the majority of the large ungulates leave the park, dispersing eastwards to the Simanjiro plains, or northwards towards Lakes Manyara and Natron. When the standing water in these dispersal areas dries up, the large herds of ungulates return to Tarangire and remain there for the duration of the dry season. The best time to see large concentrations of mammals is from July to mid November, with September and October probably being the optimal months. While there are fewer large mammals around in the wet season (December-May), it can still be an interesting time to visit – only then are you likely to see the large breeding herds of several hundred elephants. Below is a list of the larger mammals of the park, together with a brief description of where they might be seen. For a complete mammal list, inclusive of bats and rodents, see the Tarangire Mammal List below. Charles Foley Wildlife Conservation Society PRIMATES Common Genet Small Eared Galago Genetta Genetta Otolemur Garnettii Very common in Tarangire. Can be regularly seen at the Tarangire Common in Sangaiwe forest, though its nocturnal habits mean it Safari Lodge in the evenings.
