During this time, thousands of animals - wildebeest, buffalo, and oryx - migrate from the dry Maasai steppe to the Tarangire River looking for water. Lions, leopards, and other predators follow the herds. Tarangire is home to over 500 varieties of birds.
Lake Manyara National Park: Lake Manyara is home to many flamingos and other water birds. The park is home to tree-climbing lions, hippos, elephants, zebras, buffalo, giraffes, baboons, blue and vervet monkeys, warthogs, and more. About 350 species of birds have been recorded here.
