Tarangire’s pythons climb trees, also do its lions and leopards, lounging in the branches of the sausage tree. It is also an excellent place for birdwatching. The best birdwatching months are from October to May.

The most famous park in Tanzania is Serengeti National Park. It’s the oldest park, covering an area of 14,763 square kilometers, equal in size to Northern Ireland. Its name comes from the Masai word Siringet, meaning 'endless plains'. It is the sanctuary of an estimated four million different animals and birds.

Serengeti is well known for the big migration, spectacular huge herds of wild zebra, antelopes, move to other areas of the park in search of greener grazing grounds (requiring over 4,000 tons of grass each day) and water. Because of its high population of these species, it’s a perfect place for the big predators, the lions, leopards, and hyenas are commonly seen while sleeping or hunting.

Ngorongoro Crater / Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Eight million years ago, the Ngorongoro Crater was an active volcano but its cone collapsed, forming the crater that is 610 meters deep, 20 kilometers in diameter, and covers an area of 311 square kilometers. Spectacular as it is, the crater accounts for just a tenth of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Views from the rim of the crater are sensational. On the crater floor, grassland blends into swamps, lakes, rivers, woodland, and mountains. You can descend to the floor of the crater in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Only 4WD vehicles are allowed into the crater and game rangers are compulsory for all.

The crater is home to many species of wildlife and birds. Almost every species of African plains mammal lives in the crater, including the endangered black rhino. The densest population of predators in Africa can be seen here, lion, leopard, hyena. The birdlife, which includes the flamingo, is mainly seasonal, mostly seen in Lake Magadi on the crater floor.

Lake Manyara National Park

This relatively small park is divided into five distinct vegetation zones: ground-water forest, marshland, reed beds, open grasslands, and acacia woodland.

The vegetation of groundwater forest, where blue monkeys, baboons, and the curious-looking silvery-cheeked hornbill live, among the more than 350 bird species, the most profuse being the flamingo.
