About
About Tarangire National Park.
Famous for its vast herds of elephants and iconic, ancient baobab trees that dot the landscape. During the dry season, the Tarangire River becomes a lifeline, drawing thousands of migratory zebra, wildebeest, and predators. A spectacular contrast to the open plains of the Serengeti, offering incredible birding, walking safaris, and night drives.
