Overview
Tarangire national Park’s exhilarating hilly landscape with dispersed huge unique shaped Baobab trees is home to the largest concentration of elephants in the world. With the Tarangire River as the primary source of fresh water for wild animals in the Tarangire Ecosystem during the annual dry season, herds of up to 300 elephants can be seen around the river drinking or just enjoying a bath to cool. At the peak of the dry season, elephants dig into the riverbed to reveal underground water which help other animals as well to quench their thirsty. Tarangire is also an important area for birds. From Eagles, vultures and Kori bustards to Hornbills, lovebirds and rollers have made this national park their home. Lots of different bird species breed around the swamps of the Tarangire national park. Other animals found around these swamps are lions, leopards, cheetahs and tree-climbing pythons.
