The Tarangire River, which flows through the park, attracts wildlife year-round, especially during the dry season.

3. The Tarangire River: The lifeline of the park, the Tarangire River, is a vital water source that draws animals from across the park, particularly during the dry season. Witness large herds of animals gathering at the riverbanks, creating prime opportunities for game viewing and photography.
4. Iconic Baobab Trees: Tarangire is famous for its stunning landscapes dotted with ancient baobab trees. These iconic trees not only provide shelter and food for various wildlife but also offer a picturesque backdrop for your safari photos.
