Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area and therefore making it the place to be for many animals and predators. There is a great diversity of wildlife including lion, leopard, cheetah and up to six thousand elephant.

Another big draw card to this picturesque crater, is it's dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and occasionally leopard.
