Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is often the least celebrated stop on Tanzania’s northern circuit, yet it repays a visit as richly as any of them. The landscape is distinctive, studded with ancient baobabs and towering termite mounds, and the perennial Tarangire River draws huge concentrations of wildlife through the dry season when other water sources have failed. Elephant herds here are some of the largest in Tanzania. It is an easy park to underestimate and a hard one to forget.
