Tarangire National Park is impressively splendid for its famous concentration of wild animals especially the elephants and it is also one  of the finest birding destinations in East Africa. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River that crosses the park and covers an area of 2850 km 2. The Tarangire River during the dry season (from July to October) shrinks and draws multitudes of thirsty wildlife.  No matter the time of year! More so, the great baobab trees and large termite mounds that dot the landscape are like something out of a fairytale. As if it couldn’t get better, this park emulates the importance of national parks in Tanzania as currently, it is home to the fringe-eared oryx, greater kudu, and Ashy Starling. All of which are greatly endangered and can only be found in the Tarangire National Park.
