Home to Tanzania's largest population of elephants, Tarangire is the best place to see these gentle giants in their natural habitat - from the adorable calves all the way up to the intimidating bulls. It is also an ideal place to snap photos of the boabab tree (the Tree of Life), as it grows in great numbers throughout the park.
