Tarangire National Park
Baobab country, with Tanzania's largest elephant herds.
Why Tarangire National Park
Tarangire's permanent river draws huge concentrations of elephant, especially in the dry season when herds of 200+ gather along the floodplain.
Ancient baobabs, fever-tree swamps and a surprisingly varied bird list make Tarangire one of Tanzania's most photogenic parks — and an easy first stop on the northern circuit.
