Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

Tanzania’s Tarangire National Park is roughly 2,850 square kilometers in size. The magnificent Baobab trees found in Tarangire National Park are well-known. These have a distinctive shape and can grow to be very large. The Park is well-known for having the world’s highest concentration of elephants! Around the Tarangire River, herds of up to 300 elephants can be seen. The animals’ main supply of fresh water comes from the river. They come here to drink during the dry season or merely to take a bath to escape the scorching sun. Elephants burrow into the riverbed to uncover subterranean water at the conclusion of the dry season, or they search for Baobab trees to quench their thirst.
