Today you will have morning and afternoon game drives as the animals tend to be more active in the cooler hours of the day. The Tarangire River, from which the park derives its name, flows through the northern part of Tarangire in to the vast swamps in the south which dry to green plains during the dry season. The river attracts thirsty animals from other areas and it creates distinct safari experiences dependent on the seasons. The dry season, (July to October) sees large herds of buffalo, elephants, zebra, wildebeest and impala congregate along the riverbanks in search of water, with lions and cheetahs the nearby predators. This is the best time of year for game viewing, as from November to May much of the game disperses as the wildebeest and zebra head north.
