Tanzania's Elephant Paradise
Tarangire National Park is Tanzania's sixth-largest park, covering 2,850 square kilometers of rolling savanna dotted with iconic baobab trees. During the dry season, the Tarangire River becomes a lifeline, drawing massive concentrations of wildlife.
The park supports one of the highest elephant populations in Africa, with herds sometimes numbering over 300 individuals. Its relatively off-the-beaten-path location means fewer crowds and more intimate wildlife encounters.
