Tarangire National Park: Tanzania’s Elephant Paradise

Ever seen a herd of 300 elephants in one place? Welcome to Tarangire National Park!

The park is renowned for its impressive elephant population, which hosts one of the highest densities in Africa. Due to a rich food supply and an ideal habitat, the park’s elephants tend to form larger herds than those in Katavi.
