This beautiful park is filled with Baobabs and Acacias with large variety of game such as zebras, elephants, giraffes, and waterbucks. All animals can enjoy the water coming from the Tarangire River. The Tarangire River has shrivelled to a shadow of its wet season self. But it is choked with wildlife

Herds around 300 elephants scratch the dry river bed for underground streams, while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. It's the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem - a smorgasbord for predators – and the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly observed.

Tarangire's pythons climb trees, as do its lions and leopards, lounging in the branches where the fruit of the sausage tree disguises the twitch of a tail.
