Tarangire NP is one of the most beautiful protected aeas in northern Tanzania. It has the highest concentration of wildlife during the dry season, and one can find a large concentration of elephants year round. Tarangire is known for its river floodplains, wetlands, gently rolling hills, rocky outcrops, acacia woodlands and numerous baobab trees. The park is also home to oryx, greater and lesser kudu, lion, cheetah, generuk, wildebeest, zebra and more than 550 species of birds.

Although one of the smaller Tanzanian parks in the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara NP is an interesting place to visit. During the months of July through April, the lake waters are tinged pink from the hundreds of flamingos who feed there. Other features of the park include its stable heards of elephants and buffalos, enormous troops of baboons and its famous tree-climbing lions.

The unique Ngorongoro Crater phenomenon must be seen to be believed. The crater, a collapsed volcanic caldera, covers 250 sq.km and is 611m deep. Large numbers of carnivores, herbivores, primates and birds are seen year round. It also boasts one of the last viable populations of the nearly extinct black rhinoceros and the highest density of lions and spotted hyena's.
