Elephants
The African elephant is the largest land animal in the world. A mature male can weigh up to six tons and reach 13 feet in height! Elephants live in groups of 10 - 20 members, consisting of females and calves. The male, bull elephants live alone or in bachelor groups. Their average life span is about 65 years.
Elephants can be seen at most of the parks. You'll normally find them near watering holes and around trees. Often you will turn a corner and find them blocking the road, in which case, you'll just have to sit and wait until they move. Be sure not to get in-between a mother and her child. Tarangire offers the best place to see large herds of elephants. In Ngorongoro Crater, you will see only the large bulls with their massive tusks.
