Located in the Manyara Region, Tarangire National Park is the 6th largest national park in Tanzania. Its name originates from the Tarangire River that crosses the park. The river is primarily the source of fresh water for wild animals in the Tarangire ecosystem during the annual dry season.
Tarangire’s ecosystem is defined by the long-distance migration of wildebeest and zebras. During the dry season, thousands of animals concentrate in Tarangire National Park from the surrounding wet-season dispersal and calving areas.
Tarangire covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometres (1,100 square miles). Its landscape is composed of granite ridges, rivers, valleys, and swamps. The existing vegetation is a mixture of Acacia woodland, Commiphora-Combretum woodland, seasonally flooded grassland and Baobab trees.
