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.

It receives considerably fewer tourists, meaning that there is generally less congestion at wildlife sightings and visitors experience an enhanced sense of being in the wilderness. Tarangire stands out among its peers thanks to an abundance of two of nature’s giants: African elephants and the peculiar baobab tree. Large predators and typical plains game are numerous throughout the dry season. During the dry season, the perennial Tarangire river is the only reliable water supply, attracting vast herds of game and attendant predators.
