Tarangire NP
This park attracts a great amount of animals because it contains an important water source, the Tarangire river. Especially in the dry season a lot of animals migrate to Tarangire for this water source. Other times of the year this park gets very green.
If you are interested in seeing the centuries old Baobab trees, this park is a must to visit. According to the Maasai the Baobab was the first tree on earth. These massive trees reach heights of 5 to 30 meters (16 to 98 ft) and have trunk diameters of 7 to 11 meters (23 to 36 ft). The trees can store up to 120,000 liter of water in its swollen trunk and the elephants take great use out of it by eating the moist wood. Maybe that is why this park contains the highest amount of elephants per square kilometer in the world. You will be amazed how close the elephants will get to your vehicle.
Other animals seen in this park are lions, cheetahs, zebras, kudus, antelopes and buffalos. This park is also great for bird-watching, with over 300 species recorded.
