The park is made up of low-lying hills dominated by scattered acacia woodland and huge African baobab trees.
Tarangire River and the swamp on the southeast are the only permanent source of water in the entire park, thus it acts as a refugee area for wild animals, especially during the dry season. Tarangire is well known for its large population of elephants found nowhere else in Africa. Some rare species of great kudu, fringed-eared oryx and the ashley starling inhabit the park.
