If you choose Tarangire National Park, your game drive will lead you through a vast expanse of endless golden savannah that encircles the Tarangire River. This river flows year-round, serving as a crucial water source for the region's wildlife during the dry season. Flanked by acacia and Baobab trees, the river is frequented by the park's substantial elephant population and other herbivores like zebras and antelopes.
