Nestled in Tanzania’s Manyara region, Tarangire National Park is named after the Tarangire River that meanders through its vast landscape. This river, particularly during the dry season, becomes a vital freshwater source for the park’s abundant wildlife.

It is particularly renowned for its large elephant herds, offering a spectacular display of these majestic creatures..

The park’s landscape is adorned with iconic baobabs, acacia woodlands, and marshy plains, creating a picturesque setting that is as varied as its inhabitants.
