Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

Home to the Elephants

Tarangire National Park is renowned for its majestic Baobab trees, which can grow to an enormous size and boast a unique, iconic shape. These ancient trees are a defining feature of the park’s landscape, providing both beauty and ecological significance. Additionally, Tarangire is famous for hosting one of the largest concentrations of elephants in the world. Visitors can witness herds of up to 300 elephants gathering around the Tarangire River, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

The Lifeline of Tarangire: The Tarangire River

The Tarangire River serves as the primary source of fresh water for the park’s wildlife, especially during the dry season. Animals, including elephants, flock to the river to drink, bathe, and cool off under the scorching sun. As the dry season progresses, elephants exhibit remarkable behavior by digging into the riverbed to access underground water or seeking out Baobab trees to quench their thirst. This river is a vital lifeline, sustaining the diverse wildlife that calls Tarangire National Park home.
