Tarangire National Park
4.7· 440 traveller reviews
Baobab country. Tarangire holds the largest elephant herds of the northern circuit, drawn to the river that gives the park its name, beneath ancient baobabs and stands of doum palm.
Best time: June to October, when the dry season concentrates game along the river. How long: a full day, or an overnight to travel deeper.
