Tarangire National Park

TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

Tarangire National Park is renowned for its majestic Baobab trees, which can grow to immense sizes with distinctive shapes. The park also boasts the largest concentration of elephants in the world, with herds of up to 300 gathering around the Tarangire River. This river serves as the primary fresh water source for the animals. During the dry season, elephants come to the river to drink or bathe to cool off from the scorching sun. As the dry season progresses, elephants ingeniously dig into the riverbed to access underground water or seek out Baobab trees to quench their thirst.

ELEPHANT PARADISE

Tarangire National Park is a bird lover’s paradise, home to a diverse array of species such as parrots, hornbills, lovebirds, lilac-breasted rollers, Kori bustards, eagles, and vultures. The park’s swamps boast one of the highest numbers of breeding bird species globally. Around these swamps, you can also spot lions, leopards, cheetahs, and even tree-climbing pythons.
