Tarangire is known for its dense wildlife population, especially during the dry season from June to September. This is when thousands of animals—including wildebeest, zebra, eland, hartebeest, buffalo, and oryx—migrate from the dry Masai Steppe to the Tarangire River in search of water, closely followed by predators such as lions and leopards. Later, we'll drive to Karatu for an overnight stay.
