Usuku nosuku lwesibhakabhaka esingenamafu. Ilanga elishisayo limunca umswakama endaweni, lishisa umhlaba ube bomvu njengothuli, utshani obubunile bube bucwebe njengotshani. UMfula iTarangire usubunile waba yisithunzi sesikhathi sawo semvula. Kodwa ugcwele izilwane zasendle. Abantu abazulazulayo abomile baye bazulazula amakhulu amakhilomitha omile bazi ukuthi lapha, njalo, kukhona amanzi.
Imihlambi yezindlovu ezingafika ku-300 ikhuhla usebe lomfula owomile ukuze ithole imifudlana engaphansi komhlaba, kuyilapho izinkonkoni ezifudukayo, idube, inyathi, impala, insephe, i-hartebeest kanye ne-eland zigcwele emachibini anciphayo. Yindawo enkulu kunazo zonke izilwane zasendle ngaphandle kwendawo yokuhlala yaseSerengeti – indawo enabantu abadla ezinye izilwane – futhi yindawo eyodwa eTanzania lapho kubonwa khona izinyamazane zasemakhaya ezomile njenge-oryx enezindlebe ezinde kanye ne-gerenuk engavamile enentamo ende.
Ngesikhathi semvula, izivakashi zesizini zihlakazeka endaweni engamakhilomitha-skwele angu-20,000 (amamayela-skwele angu-12,500) kuze kube yilapho ziqeda amathafa aluhlaza bese umfula uphinda ubize. Kodwa izixuku zezindlovu zaseTarangire zitholakala kalula, zimanzi noma zomile. Amaxhaphozi, aluhlaza okotshani unyaka wonke, ayindawo okugxilwe kuyo izinhlobo zezinyoni ezingu-550, izinhlobo ezizalana kakhulu endaweni eyodwa noma kuphi emhlabeni.
Emhlabeni owomile uthola i-Kori bustard, inyoni esindayo kunazo zonke emhlabeni; intshe enezinqe ezinde, inyoni enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni; kanye neqembu elincane lezinsingizi zomhlaba eziqhuma njengenkukhu. Abathandi bezinyoni abashisekayo bangase baqaphele imihlambi ekhalayo yenyoni yothando ephuzi enemibala ekhazimulayo, kanye ne-weaver enomsila omude oluhlaza kanye ne-starling ephuzi - konke kutholakala emahlathini omile aseTanzania esenyakatho-mpumalanga. Izindunduma ze-termite ezingasasetshenziswa zivame ukuhanjwa amakoloni e-mongoose ethandekayo, kanye nama-barbet abomvu naphuzi, adonsela ukunaka kuwo ngokwawo ngokukhala kwawo okufana newashi. Ama-python aseTarangire akhuphuka ezihlahleni, kanye namabhubesi ayo nezingwe, ephumule emagatsheni lapho izithelo zomuthi we-sausage zifihla khona ukushukuma komsila.
