The Tarangire National Park is the first park you will pass on the route from Arusha to the Great Rift Valley, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Nowhere else in Tanzania you will find such a huge number of the big and famous Baobab trees that are forming the characteristic landscape of grassland and savannah. Furthermore Tarangire is known for the numerous elephants that live here. As soon as you have passed the park entrance the first giant will likely cross your way.

Of course there are animals like lions, giraffes, zebras, oryx antelopes, kudu, wild dogs, 550 bird varieties and more domiciled at Tarangire as it has the largest concentration of wildlife after the Serengeti. But still the huge elephant herds and especially their young will be one of the greatest attractions.
