Big ones, small ones, fat ones, tall ones. Must have seen 100 elephants along the Tarangire River yesterday. Yowza!
Why are there so many elephants in Tarangire?
One answer is that the park serves as a refuge for an annual migration. Thousands of elephants move into Tarangire from surrounding areas like Lake Manyara and the Maasai Steppe. During peak months (June-October), you can witness herds of up to 300 individuals congregating in a single area.

African bush elephants (Loxodonta africana) are a delight to watch as they lumber along, dig for water, bathe, or break small trees. You really need to see them to believe their size and power.
