Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park, known for its iconic baobab trees and large elephant herds, is a hidden gem in northern Tanzania. Located south of Lake Manyara, this park offers a more secluded safari experience compared to the busier Serengeti and Ngorongoro regions. With a landscape defined by riverine forests, acacia woodlands, and grassy plains, Tarangire is an excellent spot for game viewing, especially during the dry season when animals congregate around the Tarangire River.
