Tarangire national park is best known for its baobab trees and its year-round elephant population. In brief, it is common to see herds of up to 300 elephants of all ages and sizes. But predators are also well represented, along with more than 550 different bird species, the most breeding species in any one habitat anywhere in the world.
In general, it is the largest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem and the only place in Tanzania. The fringe-eared oryx and the long-necked gerenuk can be observed. For example, wildebeest, zebra and other thirsty nomads crowd the shrinking lagoons. While Lions wait early for the next opportunity to hunt.
The objective for today is to conclude the journey at the Twiga campsite in Mto wa Mbu.

Above all, Manyara National Park has most visible predators and prime tourist attraction are lions, famous for their habit of climbing trees.
Why the lions of Lake Manyara National Park? And not those of nearby Serengeti and Ngorongoro spend so much time in trees remains a mystery. The acacia woodlands south of the Msasa River provide an ideal spot for the Lions to retreat from the sun.
However, the only kind of their species in the world, not only they make the ancient mahogany and elegant acacias their home during the rainy season and are a well-known but also rare feature of the northern park. In addition, the lions, the national park, is also home to the largest concentration of baboons anywhere in the world — a fact that accounts for interesting game viewing of large families of primates.
