Tarangire area

It is a protected area, the sixth largest in Tanzania. Its name comes from the Tarangire River that runs through the park, being the only source of water for wild animals during the dry season. During this stage thousands of animals migrate here from Manyara. It is located a short distance to the southeast of Lake Manyara and covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers. The landscape and vegetation is highly varied with a mix not found anywhere else on the northern safari circuit. The hilly landscape is dotted with large numbers of baobabs, dense shrubs, and tall grasses.
