Tarangire National Park is known for its majestic Baobab trees. These can grow to an enormous size and have a unique shape. The Park is also famous as it has the largest concentration of elephants in the world! You can see herds of up to 300 elephants around the Tarangire River. The River is the primary source of fresh water for the animals. In the dry season, they come here to drink or just to enjoy a bath to cool off from the hot sun. During the end of dry season, elephants dig into the riverbed to reveal underground water, or are looking for Baobab trees to slake their thirst.
Baobab Trees: Towering and ancient, they dominate the landscape and make stunning backdrops for photos.
Tarangire River: The main water source that draws wildlife year-round.
Seasonal Migration: During the dry months (June to October), the park experiences a lesser-known but impressive migration of animals seeking water.
Peaceful Atmosphere: With fewer crowds than Serengeti or Ngorongoro, Tarangire offers a more intimate safari experience.
