I'm not sure these require much in the way of explanation...
Tarangire National Park is only about 120 km from Arusha (less than 2 hours on a paved road). It has the Tarangire River running through it which provides water year-round. Because of this it's considered the best "dry season" park in the country, as animals concentrate heavily in the area during the dry season.
It's rained quite a bit in the last week and we're were surprised to see how green everything was! Many of the animals (esp. zebras and wildebeests and giraffes) have begun to spread out so we worked hard for the animals we did see. We had a great guide with us, though. We did see two lions and 3 hyenas, although they were not clear enough for photos, so you'll have to take my word for it! We also found impala, harebeests, reedboks, waterbucks (all classified as DLA--deer like animals) as well as lots of interesting and colorful birds.
