If you are interested in seeing the centuries old Baobab trees, this park is a must to visit. According to the Maasai the Baobab was the first tree on earth. These massive trees reach heights of 5 to 30 meters (16 to 98 ft) and have trunk diameters of 7 to 11 meters (23 to 36 ft). The trees can store up to 120,000 liter of water in its swollen trunk and the elephants take great use out of it by eating the moist wood. Maybe that is why this park contains the highest amount of elephants per square kilometer in the world. You will be amazed how close the elephants will get to your vehicle.

Other animals seen in this park are lions, cheetahs, zebras, kudus, antelopes and buffalos. This park is also great for bird-watching, with over 300 species recorded.

Tarangire National Park’s pythons climb trees, as do its lions and leopards, lounging in the branches where the fruit of the sausage tree disguises the twitch of a tail. Are you interested to see them, then choose our Tanzania Safari Packages.

While migrating wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest, and eland throng the diminishing lagoons, herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the parched river bank for subterranean streams. It’s the largest concentration of wildlife outside of the Serengeti environment – a feast for predators – and the only site in Tanzania Safari Destinations where dry-country antelope like the majestic fringe-eared oryx and strange long-necked gerenuk may be seen on a regular basis.
