rest of the day will be spent on a game drive. It is Tanzania's sixth largest national park. The
Tarangire River, which runs through the park, inspired the park's name. During the annual dry
season, the Tarangire River is the primary source of fresh water for wild animals in the
Tarangire Ecosystem. The Tarangire Ecosystem is defined by the migration of wildebeest and
zebras over long distances. Thousands of animals congregate in the park during the dry season
from the surrounding wet-season dispersal and calving areas. The Park is well-known for its
dense population of elephants and baobab trees. Visitors to the park during the dry season (June
to November) can expect to see large herds of zebra, wildebeest, and cape buffalo. Waterbuck,
giraffe, dik-dik, impala, eland, Grant's gazelle, vervet monkey, banded mongoose, and olive
baboon are also common residents. When you arrive, relax at the respective hotel while a

across from Karatu.
With a population of less than 2,000 people, the Hadzabe are one of the last tribes to remain
true to their tribal history. They exist much as they always have, far from the crowds and
globalization that inevitably support tourism. The Hadzabe people live in caves near Lake
Eyasi, and their isolation and small population size have allowed them to avoid the HIV
epidemic and other diseases spread by intertribal marriages.
The Hadzabe language is a distinguishing feature of their culture. The Hadzabe language is an
idiosyncratic click language. It is similar to that of the famous Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert.
Despite this, and despite their similar physical appearances, DNA testing has revealed no links
