Tarangire is found in the Northern circuit of Tanzania, a protected land filled with colossal baobab trees and herds of giant elephants.

Animals found in Tarangire are lions, leopards, hippos, zebras, antelopes, gazelles, and many more. Beautiful giraffes are seen picking at the tall thorny trees in the park alongside buffalos and wildebeests.

The park is home to all of the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and the endangered black rhino). The park also has predators such as hyenas, wild dogs, and cheetahs roaming the green savannah. The predators hunt prey such as zebra, eland, and antelope. The majestic giraffes can be seen picking at the tall acacia trees in the park. Crocodiles are found in the Grumeti and Mara Rivers, and hippos are spotted in the adjacent rivers.
