Tarangire National Park is located in northern Tanzania, just south of Lake Manyara National Park. It covers and area of around 2.600 km², making it the 6th largest national park of Tanzania. While Tarangire is very dry during most of the year, it looks greener than e.g. the Serengeti thanks to lots of elephant grass, acacias and of course the famous baobabs.
Besides the elephants (there’s herds of up to 300 elephants!), you’ll also find lots of buffalos and zebras and decent amounts of giraffes, lions, cheetahs and leopards. During the dry season, a mini-migration takes place, during which around 250.000 animals move around looking for water.
