The ecosystem and park history

Category: Uncategorized | Date: Sep 13 2008 | By: oltukaiconservancy

History records shows that, explorers and slave traders passed through this landscape. While few settled, Tsetseflies helped  keep most people and Livestock away. The area of the park was first a famous hunting ground  and then a game reserve. Research in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s showed the importance during the dry season.

Tarangire national park was established in 1970’s, then 5th national parks to be declared  since Tanzania’s Independence from British.

Thanks immensely for your co-operation.

Boniface Ngimojino.
