A 2,642 km² park in northern Tanzania named after the Tarangire River that flows through it. Tarangire is characterized by classic African savanna dotted with monumental baobab trees and is especially known for its large elephant populations (during the dry season, it has one of the highest concentrations of elephants). The park also shelters plentiful wildlife like wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, buffalo, and predators, all drawn to its life-sustaining river and swamps.
