Tarangire National Park

One of the most important natural features of the park is the Tarangire River, which flows through the park and acts as the main source of water for animals, especially during the dry season. When other areas become dry, many animals migrate to Tarangire in search of water, making it one of the best places for wildlife viewing during this time.

Tarangire National Park is especially famous for its large elephant herds, and visitors often see groups of elephants moving across the plains or gathering near the river. Other animals commonly found in the park include lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, and several species of antelope.

Lions are commonly seen resting in the grasslands or hunting in groups.

The African elephant can also be found in the crater, especially the large bulls that move between the forested areas and open plains. Another special highlight of Ngorongoro Crater is the black rhinoceros, one of the rarest animals in Africa.

The Hadzabe people depend mainly on hunting and gathering for their daily survival.

The hunters work together and use their deep knowledge of animal tracks and the environment to find their prey.
