Another notable aspect of this national park is its abundant population of predators, such as lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard (which sometimes requires a keen eye to spot).

The park follows the course of the Tarangire River and is primarily composed of low hills on the floor of the Great Rift Valley.

Both the river and the swamps attract a large number of wild animals during Tanzania's dry season.
