Location
Tarangire National Park
The park has a permanent water supply that ensures a huge and varied animal population, especially during the dry season when it rivals the Serengeti. The most common animals found in the park include zebras, wildebeest, lions, leopards, waterbucks, giraffe, elephants, gazelles, impala, gerenuk, lesser kudu, and the beautiful fringe-eared Oryx. You may be lucky to spot the tree-climbing python, for which the park is famous, or the kudu and the roan antelope which are rare species in Northern Tanzania. Over 300 species of birds have been recorded in the park. The best bird-watching months are from October to May.
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti National Park is the largest national park in Tanzania, covering an area of 14,763 square kilometers. The park is located approximately 320 kilometers to the northwest of Arusha, lying in a high plateau between the Ngorongoro Highlands and the Kenya-Tanzania border, and extending almost to Lake Victoria to the west. Declared a protected area in 1921 and gazetted as a national park in 1951, Serengeti is the oldest national park in Tanzania and undoubtedly one of the most famous wildlife sanctuaries in the world. The principal features of the Serengeti are the short and long grass plains in the south and east, the acacia savannah in the central areas, the hilly and densely wooded areas in the north, and the extensive woodland in the west.
Serengeti comes from the Maasai name, “Siringet”, which means endless plains. You immediately experience this vastness as you enter the southeastern plains of the park from Ngorongoro. Home to countless numbers of a wide variety of animals and birds, you will encounter lions, cheetahs, and leopards. There is a variety of scenery which includes the plains, lakes, hills, and the rocky outcrops called Kopjes. Common animals that can be seen here are lions, buffalo, impalas, hippos, waterbucks, elephants, cheetahs, and leopards. From December, when the long rains start, to May, the eastern Serengeti plains provide the best opportunities for game viewing as hundreds of thousands of the migratory animals are concentrated in this part, attracted by the short palatable grass.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is situated approximately 190 kilometers west of Arusha, between Lake Manyara and Serengeti National Parks. Covering approximately 8,288 square kilometers, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area consists of the Ngorongoro Crater itself, the Olduvai Gorge, and Ndutu, the Empakai Crater, and the Oldonyo Lengai Mountain. The altitude at the crater rim is about 2,286 meters above sea level, and temperatures can get quite chilly in the evening. The crater is home to many species of wild game and birds.
Except impala, the topi (due to fierce competition with the wildebeest) and the giraffe (because there is not much to eat at tree level), almost every species of African plains mammal lives in the crater including the black rhino. The birdlife, which includes the flamingo, is mainly seasonal and is affected by the ratio of soda to the fresh water in Lake Magadi on the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater, which is the central attraction in the area, is the largest caldera in the world that has its walls intact. The sight of the Ngorongoro Crater is simply to ‘die’ for. It is one of the wonders of the world.
