During the dry season thousands of animals concentrate in Tarangire National Park from the surrounding wet-season dispersal and calving areas.

Visitors to the park in the June to November dry season can expect to see large herds of thousands of zebra, wildebeest and cape buffalo.

Predators in Tarangire include lion, leopard, cheetah, caracal, honey badger, and African wild dog.
