Day 2
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
Full day in the park with morning and afternoon game viewing drives at 06:30 hrs and 16:00 hrs respectively. One of the key attractions that have made Tarangire National Park to become internationally popular is its largest elephant population which in fact is considered to be the highest in the whole of Tanzania.
As the dry season from June to October progresses and terrain becomes even drier, you will see numerous large elephant herds of about 300 individuals per herd digging the dry riverbed of Tarangire River in search for underground streams of water to quench their thirst.
The oldest known elephant to give birth to twins is found in Tarangire. Another unique feature that can relevantly be seen in is the baobab tree also referred to as the Tree of Life. It is ‘gigantic’ in nature and can store within its trunk 300 litres to 1000 litres of water. They have a long-life span and can survive up to six hundred (600) years.
