It is easy to spot wild animals, if you visit the park during the dry season. You can find herd of wild elephants scratch the dry beds of Tarangire in search for underground streams. At the dwindling lagoons, you can also spot the zebra, impala, buffalo, hartebeest, and elands swarming in large numbers.

All around the year, the swamps are home to nearly 550 species of birds. On barren ground you can have a tete-a tete with the sturdy thighed Ostrich, the biggest bird on earth, or exchange pleasantries with KoriBustard, the heaviest airborne bird.
Some of the other common residents you are bound to stumble upon are the lovebirds with yellow collar or the drabber weaver with rufous tail, the Olive baboons, giraffes, etc.

From the branches of the tree, you will receive greetings from the leopards, the tree climbing lions and pythons.
