Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park in Tanzania is located in the Manyara Region. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River that crosses the park.
The Tarangire River is the primary source of fresh water for wild animals in the Tarangire Ecosystem during the annual dry season.
The Tarangire Ecosystem is defined by the long-distance migration of wildebeest and zebras.
During the dry season, thousands of animals concentrate in Tarangire National Park from the surrounding wet-season dispersal and calving areas.
It covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers (1,100 square miles.) The landscape is composed of granitic ridges, river valleys, and swamps. Vegetation is a mix of Acacia woodland, Combretum woodland, seasonally flooded grassland, and baobab trees.
Tarangire is also, home to big Elephants, Baobabs, and the wonderful spectacle of the African savanna, the Tarangire!, and the meeting point for the mightiest component of the wilderness is here where the magnificent herd of African Elephants to be found in northern Tanzania are to be found.

Best time to visit Tarangire
Tarangire river life is spectacular during the dry season when the migratory ungulates come back to the permanent waters of that river with the exceptional diversity of birdlife.
Day after day of cloudless skies. The fierce sun sucks the moisture from the landscape, baking the earth a dusty red, the withered grass as brittle as straw.
The Tarangire River has shriveled to a shadow of its wet season self. But it is choked with wildlife. Thirsty nomads have wandered hundreds of perched kilometers knowing that here, always, there is water.
