Tarangire River feeds into the park providing it with a permanent source of water. This park is legendarily known for its large baobab trees with a life spun of some thousand years. They say the tree is an upturned giant carrot with flowers that appears occasionally and hard covered fruits that serve as food for animals like elephants and monkeys with special tools and skills for crashing them. The land of Tarangire is speckled with different species of acassia trees, mahogany, delbergia etc which provides good habitat for arboreal species of animals but diverse habitat can be noted all over the park.
