Manyara National Park
The park became the National Park in 1960. It covers a total area of 648 km square; the park includes Lake Manyara, 220km square, and the mainland, 428. Manyara national park has become one of the most visited by different species due to its green environment. It is the best park for bird watchers.
Lake Manyara becomes very attractive during the presence of flamingos and pelicans, an easy place to come across the hot spring and a nice view of the African rift valley, which crosses many African countries, including Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, and many more.

Tarangire National Park
The Park was named Tarangire due to a river that flows in the area all year round and helps the animals to get their water even during the dry season. This Park covers a total area of 2850 km square; big baobab trees well cover it, and many elephants hence named the home of the African elephant.
The ecosystem in Tarangire has become amazing due to the behaviours of animals that migrate in the rainy season and come back in the dry season because the soil of this place makes grass unpalatable and Muddy and therefore causes hooves disease to the antelopes.

Ngorongoro Crater
This is the main attraction found in Ngorongoro Conservation Area Thi.s caldera/crater was formed millions of years ago; the word crater is a mistake made by book writers and printers because the crater is a small slight depression formed on top of a mountain due to volcanic eruption. The crater has no life, while a caldera is a significant depression formed when a cliff collapses.
The total space of the Ngorongoro Caldera is about 290km square and 16-17km across it. The glow lies about 610 meters below the rim, and here the soda lake can be seen, and munge river flows from the Highlands of the Ngorongoro to the caldera.

Ndutu Area
The Ndutu Region forms part of the northern section of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It stretches to the unfenced southern reaches of the Serengeti National Park, a meeting point between these two significant wilderness areas. This park section comprises rolling grasslands peppered with alkaline lakes that attract flocks of flamingos and acacia woodlands.
There is year-round resident wildlife, such as giraffes, elephants, hyenas, and various antelope species, in the Ndutu Region. You can spot animals around the waterholes during the dry season from June to November.

Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti National Park is in north Tanzania and extends to southwestern Kenya. The Serengeti encompasses Serengeti National Park and several protected game reserves and conservation areas maintained by the governments of Tanzania and Kenya.
The region hosts the largest mammal migration in the world and is a popular destination for African safaris. According to UNESCO, altitudes in the Serengeti range from 3,020 feet to 6,070 feet (920 meters to 1,850 meters). The usually warm and dry climate is interrupted by two rainy seasons — March to May and a shorter season in October and November.
