The park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire than anywhere else on the planet.

Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife. Over 2 million ungulates, 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 550 cheetahs, and some 500 bird species inhabit an area close to 15,000km² (5,800mi²) in size.
Most visitors come here with one aim alone—to witness millions of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and eland on a mass trek to quench their thirst for water and to eat fresh grass. During this great cyclical movement, these ungulates move around the ecosystem in a seasonal pattern defined by rainfall and grass nutrients.
Lunch will be offered on the vehicle during the safari. By late afternoon, you will arrive at Tanapa rest house to rest, dine, and cherish the greatest moments you gathered during the safari.
