Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is a place with really big Baobab trees. These trees are special because they can grow big and have a unique shape. The park is also famous because it has the most elephants in the world! Imagine seeing groups of up to 300 elephants near the Tarangire River.

This river is super important because it gives fresh water to the animals. When it's dry and hot, the animals come here to drink or take a bath. In the dry season, elephants even dig into the riverbed to find water, or they look for Baobab trees to quench their thirst.
