At 2,600sqkms, Tarangire is the fourth biggest National Park in Tanzania and it consists of five separate vegetation and habitat zones. This diversity in turn, supports an equally rich variety of mammals, birds and flora, punctuated by magnificent 1000-year-old giant Baobab trees. The best months to visit are the dry season months from July to October when high concentrations of wildlife is attracted to the park as it provides the only permanent water in this area via the Tarangire River. Animals such as elephant, hyena, buffalo, leopard, oryx, kudu, eland and the larger predators are frequently seen.
