Day - 2 -Exploring Tarangire National Park.

Full day game viewing drive in the Park. Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry river bed for underground streams, while  migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. It’s the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem - a smorgasbord for predators – and the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared Oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly observed. During the rainy season, the seasonal visitors scatter over a 20,000 sq km range until they exhaust the green plains and the river calls once more. But Tarangire’s mobs of elephant are easily encountered, wet or dry.
The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world.

It forms  the annual migratory route of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra, antelope and their predators who come to graze and calve between December and March, depending on the rains. From Mid December to March the plains of Ndutu are populated by huge herds of wildebeest, zebra and antelope as they settle on the fertile grasslands to calve, as the soil contain important minerals for pregnant  and lactating mothers  such as calcium and magnesium.  As is to be expected of nature, the predators come in droves too, feasting on the vulnerable young.
