Tarangire National Park is well known for the river that flows through it and the warthog, known as ngiri in Swahili. Tarangire is home to large herds of elephants and many giant baobab trees. These trees can live for more than a century. They are a source of water and food for elephants in the dry season. Elephants use a special technique to draw water and eat the baobao tree’s bark. Apart from this, the Tarangire River is the only source of water in the dry season, which is why in this season in Tarangire, you can see groups of up to 250 elephants next to many more animals.
