TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK
Tarangire National Park is famed for its awe-inspiring elephant herds—the largest in Tanzania—and its iconic baobab-dotted landscapes. While smaller than the Serengeti, Tarangire packs a dramatic punch with year-round wildlife spectacles, especially in the dry season when animals flock to the life-giving Tarangire River.
