stay cool. In Lake Manyara National Park, you'll have a great chance to see these impressive creatures, as the park’s numerous waterholes provide perfect habitats for them.

ELEPHANT

Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth and are generally gentle if left
undisturbed. They use their trunks to smell and grasp food, making these impressive
appendages essential for their daily activities.
