Tarangire National Park

Tarangire is instantly recognizable for its massive baobab trees that tower over herds of elephants, some of the largest in Tanzania. Wetlands and river valleys attract wildebeest, giraffes, and more than 500 bird species, making it a sanctuary for both giants and rarities. In the dry season, when surrounding lands wither, Tarangire's river draws animals in remarkable concentrations, making it one of East Africa's most underrated wildlife destinations.
