Tarangire National Park is
about 120 km from
Arusha, bordered with Tarangire Wildlife conservation
area to the northeast, an area set apart by the government, to cater
for the needs of the local people as a grazing ground for their herds. (see the map PDF)
The
national park owes its
name to Tarangire River, which flows across the area. It is characterized by
dense vegetation of acacia and mixed woodland, the area around Tarangire
River however, is dominated by huge baobab trees and old doum palm trees to
a lesser prominence, as well as black cotton grass. Though it is not as
famous as other parks in the north, Tarangire offers the same attractions as
other parks in the north. Its unique aspect is the annual animal immigration
that takes place during the dry season and the birdlife which is
spectacular to the northern parks.
While
Serengeti's animal migration has attained mundane
fame, for many tourists, little is known of Tarangire annual migration.
The difference with Serengeti however is that, in
Serengeti animals migrate away from the park during the dry season
(June to October), the opposite happens in Tarangire; animals migrate
from Maasai Steppe to the park during the dry season. They migrate to the
park in search for water, which is provided by Tarangire River, and
predators migrate along with in search for preys. During this period the park
has the largest concentration of animals than in any park in the northern
Tanzania.

elephants, zebras, and hartebeest. Not all animals are migratory though,
other animals such as giraffes, Impala, Eland, lesser kudu, waterbuck,
gazelle and leopards can be seen throughout the year.
More people are attracted by the giant pythons and large herds of
elephants. the park is also famous for
migrant birds. the park has estimated to have more than
550 species of birds, including yellow collared lovebird,
rufous-tailed weaver, helmeted guinea fowl, kori bustard,
brown parrot, kestrels, harriers, buzzards, and eagles.
