Any visitor, be local or foreign, wishing  to watch large herds of Elephants.  The best place to go is the Tarangire- Manyara ecosystem in Arusha and Manyara regions. There is a lot of concentration of the largest mammals on land whose density per square km is the highest than anywhere in the world. Many people are excited when they hear or watch  movies or stories on the elephant. The excitement of these people about this animal centres on its large body, the way it feeds itself,  the animal’s tusks, to name but a few aspects. The Tarangire- Manyara parks, one of the 14 national parks in Tanzania, boasts of having large herds of elephants compared to other parks in the country. The Conservancy is putting a lot of emphasis on taking care of these wild mammals.

In some cases in the parks (s), one herd can have up to 300 elephants. Amazing!. These large herds of elephants include a whole clan from very old elephants to youngers who tag behind their mothers but when they sense danger, they quickly rush between legs of elders for protection. Lactating elephantns are very aggressive especially when their youngers lives are threatened.

Thank you for your co operation.
