Tarangire National Park popularly known as the park of elephants, baobab tree that can handle up to three hundred liters of water and baboons, is located only 114 km, of good tarmac road from Arusha City.
The Tarangire River, from which the park derives its name, irresistibly luring herds of plain migrants to its permanent water during the dry season passes through the area. Between July and November, the park hosts herds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras coming from all over the Maasai steppe and from as for north as the shores of Lake Natron.
Elephants, buffaloes, hartebeests, elands, lions, leopards, hyenas, cheetahs and many other species live in the park throughout the year, but are more numerous during the dry season. Tarangire is the only park where you are assured of seeing the fringed eared Oryx.
Lake Manyara National Park lies in a shallow depression at the base of the eastern branch of the Rift Valley, backed by the red and brown cliffs of the escarpment to the west. This park is dominated by the Lake and the beautiful cool lush of the mature groundwater forest. Primates including baboons, blue and vervet monkeys are among the most dominant mammalian species in the park. Other animal species found here are elephants, buffaloes, impalas, wildebeests, hippos, giraffes and zebras.
Also lions can be seen, sometimes stretching in the branches of the Acacias, a habit commonly seen in Manyara because most of the trees are located near the game drive roads comparable to other National parks.
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area encompasses the volcanic area around the Ngorongoro Crater, including the still active volcano of Ol'doinyo Lenkai (Lengai) and the famous Oldupai Gorge. The Ngorongoro has an area of 8600 square km. Its centerpiece, the Ngorongoro crater, is the largest intact, unfolded caldera in the world and is considered the as one of the eight wonders of the world.
A 600 meters (2,000 feet) descent brings you to the 12 mile-wide (260 square km) floor of the Crater, home of the largest permanent concentration of wildlife in Africa.

OTHER SITES TO EXPLORE WITHIN NCA
OLMOTI AND EMBAKAAI CRATERS: The rim of Olmoti Crater is at 3700 meters but the crater itself is rather shallow. Olmoti Crater is home to bushbuck, eland and occasional buffalo, Maasai and their livestock.
Water flows across the crater to the south part into a relatively small but splendid waterfall known as Munge. Both craters are reachable on foot, but visitors must be accompanied by armed guides.
SHIFTING SAND: This extraordinary black dune which is composed of volcanic ash from Ol'doinyo Lenkai is blown slowly westwards across the plains at the rate of approximately 100 meters in six years.
LAKE NATRON: Lake Natron is located out side NCA to the north-east, and is the biggest breeding ground in East Africa for flamingos. The lake is typically alkaline and it is a main source of food for flamingos.
