One of the last untouched places on earth, the park is famous for its huge herds of elephants, majestic against a stunning backdrop of ancient baobab trees. Between November and June, many of Tarangire’s larger residents follow the rains to greener pastures. Wildebeests and zebras join elephants, buffalo and giraffes to form a wildlife migration second only to the Serengeti/Masai Mara phenomenon. There are large populations of impala, giraffe, eland and buffalo. Thompson’s gazelle, hartebeest, boho reedbuck and both the greater and lesser kudu are also in abundance here. In terms of predators, lion prides are common throughout Tarangire, as are leopards and spotted hyenas. Packs of wild dogs sometimes pass through as well.
