Tarangire National Park

Area: 2850 km²
Tarangire National Park is located 50 km south of Lake Manyara National Park. The nature is varied in Tarangire with palm forest, tree and grassy savannas, cliffs and hilly terrain. The park is known for its characteristic baobab trees which grow up to 15 meters high. Without the existence of the Tarangire River, this park would not house much wildlife. The park is one of the most abundant national parks in Tanzania for birds (in terms of number of species). Tarangire is the elephant densest national park in Africa with about 2,000 elephants during September – December. During the months of January - March, zebras and wildbeest give birth to their calves annually.
