The Tarangire River, which flows through the park, is the source of the park’s name. Because the Tarangire River serves as the sole supply of water for massive populations of elephants and other animals, wildlife densities there rival those of the Serengeti, making it particularly stunning during the dry season (March–April).
The park is home to more than 2000 elephants and 500 bird species because of its diverse ecosystems and Tarangire River, which provides stable water. With the greatest perspective of the Ngorongoro escarpment, Lake Manyara is noted for its tree-climbing lions. It also has over 300 different bird species, including the big five.

The Serengeti is likely to draw a variety of prey, including lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, golden jackals, and bat-eared foxes, due to its roughly 2 million wildebeest and several other hoofed species, such as zebra, Thomson’s gazelle, impala, topi, Grants gazelle, Kongoni, Eland, Kirk’s dik-dik, klipspringer, roan, Oryx, oribi, waterbuck, buffalo, giraffe, elephant, and warthog. Additionally, black rhinoceroses are primarily observed in the Moru kopjes region.
