And these giants are not the only large game you find here, since the Tarangire River and Lake Burunge attract countless lions, zebras, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, pythons, and monkeys to their waters. For smaller species, the grandeur lies in the numbers, as Tarangire is also an absolute haven for birdwatchers!
