It is bounded by the Serengeti Park to the south, the Siria escarpment to the west, and the Maasai pastoral ranches to the north, east and west. Rainfall in the ecosystem increases markedly along a southeast–northwest gradient, varies in space and time, and is markedly bimodal.

It is a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests, mating, and survival of the fittest as 40 km (25 mile) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters. They continue on their annual exodus north, replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily. Then, the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins again.

The park is famous for its big game and scenic beauty, with the landscape dominated by Mt. Kilimanjaro. It offers an interesting contrast with its dry and dusty appearance, which can be attributed to the volcanic ash that came out of Mt Kilimanjaro when it last erupted. In spite of the appearance, there is a continuous supply of water that gets filtered through volcanic rocks from Kilimanjaro's melted snow. These streams flow underground, creating lush green areas, and converge at two clear water springs in the park.

The park was also a safe haven for an incredible bull elephant named Tim. This mighty animal quickly became one of the major attractions with its size.
