The land of giants and ancient baobab trees
Tarangire National Park is one of Tanzania's most rewarding wildlife destinations, famous for its impressive elephant herds, ancient baobab trees and beautiful savannah landscapes.
The Tarangire River is an important source of water, particularly during the dry season, attracting elephants and other wildlife from the surrounding areas. This creates excellent opportunities for game viewing and wildlife photography.
