Tanzania Safari

Tanzania safari

Tanzania is one of the top safari destinations in Africa due to its amazing abundance of wildlife and beautiful landscapes. A Tanzania safari offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit iconic national parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and witness the annual wildebeest migration up close.

In Serengeti National Park, you’ll often see the “big five” game – lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant. This massive park that spans over 5,700 square miles is perhaps most famous for the migration, which sees over 1.5 million wildebeest and zebras make a long trek each year in search of fresh grasslands. The best time to see the migration is between January to April. You’ll also frequently spot other herbivores like gazelles and impalas as well as predators hunting them like cheetahs. No safari to Tanzania is complete without spending time in Serengeti.

Another must-visit location is the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, which is the world’s largest inactive, unbroken and unflooded volcanic caldera. It is a natural wildlife haven as animals are protected in this high-walled enclosure. You’ll find rhinos, hippos and sometimes rare black maned lions. The landscape varies from grasslands to forests, supporting a wonderful diversity of animals. It is considered by many as a mini Ark for East African wildlife.

Besides Serengeti and Ngorongoro, other popular parks include Tarangire National Park known for its elephant populations and prides of lions as well as lake-filled craters in Arusha and Manyara National Parks which are centers of birdlife. Your Tanzania safari is bound to be memorable no matter which parks you visit, thanks to well-maintained camping, incredible scenery and sights of wildlife in their natural African settings. With experienced guides and 4×4 vehicles, you’ll make the most of each wildlife viewing opportunity. An African safari in Tanzania is a dream trip and experience of a lifetime.
