Tarangire
National Park is south-west of Arusha, east of Manyara.
Its name comes from the Tarangire River, which crosses the
whole park, and it extends on over 2600 square kilometers.
The scenery is made of savannah, mixed woodland and acacia,
as well as many baobab trees. In the south of the park are
a few swamps.
When
to visit?
Dry
season, from July to November, is the best time ti visit
Tarangire, as all the animals gather along the river, where
they are easy to observe. In other seasons, they scatter,
and the high grass makes it difficult to find them.
Animals
During
dry season, animals gather around the river and it is possible
to see all of them, as Tarangire Park is second after Serengeti
in Tanzania, with the quantity of animals. It is very famous
for its herds of elephants, which can count upto 300 heads.
