Tarangire National Park is located on the North of Tanzania not very far from the southeast of Lake Manyara, occupying 2850 sq km (110 sq miles). The park got its name from River Tarangire which crosses the park through. In dry seasons it is the only freshwater source for many wild animals. The flora and views in Tarangire Park are unique for Tanzania with high-growing grass, bushes and Tamarind trees.
