Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is a long, thin park covering 1,360 sq. km, roughly running north south along the line of the Tarangire River. It is made up chiefly of low-lying, rolling hills on the Rift floor, its natural vegetation of acacia woodland and giant baobabs only altered by huge areas of swamp. The swamps of black cotton mud produce rich grasslands, while the watercourses are lined by huge trees, including sycamore fig, tamarind, and sausage trees.

Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera and is regarded as the 8th wonder of the world. It is one of the most diverse and fascinating areas of Tanzania and has been given the status of a World heritage site and International Biosphere Reserve. The fertile slopes and steep forest-covered walls are home to approximately 30,000 animals including the rare black rhino. The various ecosystems found within the 260 square kilometre crater floor sustain Cape buffalo, elephants, wildebeest, zebras, elands, gazelles, hippos, numerous bird species as well as a high concentration of predators. Although birdlife is generally good throughout the year, from November to April, migratory birds from Europe and Northern Africa are present and many resident birds are in breeding plumage.

Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti’s endless plains is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is patrolled by Africa’s big cats, elephants, buffaloes, gazelles and giraffes and is perhaps most famous for the migration of animals. The principle players are the wildebeest , whose numbers appear to have increased to about 2 million . In addition, about 250,000 zebras make the seasonal journey to fresh pastures, first to the north, then the south after the rains. Their ancient instinct to move is so strong that no drought, gorge or crocodile-infested river can hold them back.

Bird watching in the Serengeti is good all year round, at its very best from November to April. This is when European and North African migratory birds are present for resident species.

Serengeti North
The far north of the Serengeti National Park is where you'll find the wildebeest migration between August and October . The Mara River – bristling with crocs – divides this wild part of the Serengeti from the Masai Mara in Kenya and it's here that you'll find the herds when the southern plains get too dry. The northern section of the Serengeti looks entirely different from the south and western areas. The North is an area of gentle undulations cut by numerous streams, which reveal the underlying granites in the area. A good stretch of the Mara River cuts right through this northern area of the Serengeti, a stunning region of kopjes, open plains, sporadic woodland and riverine vegetation. One of the sights people mainly hope to see is the wildebeest crossing the Mara River , most likely between July and October , depending on weather, as the herds spend a good deal of time crossing the Mara back and forth in search of the best grazing.
