Tanzania Safari & Travel Highlights 

Northern Tanzania Safari Circuit

Serengeti National Park - The Endless Plains 

Famous for the great migration and wide-open savannah grasslands teeming with wildlife. The most iconic African landscape, the plains of the Serengeti roll on in a seemingly endless sea. The oldest and most popular national park in Tanzania, the Serengeti National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Witnessing the great wildebeest migration is one of the most exhilarating wildlife spectacles on earth. The sheer scale of almost 2 million wildebeest, zebra, Thomson's gazelle, and other antelopes, crossing the vast plains is awe-inspiring. These herbivores in turn attract an array of predators, making this one of the best places in Africa to witness this daily life-and-death struggle. 

Ngorongoro Crater - The Garden of Eden 

The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unflooded caldera in the world. It is also home to the highest density of wild animals found in one area in Africa, making it a must-see safari experience. The surrounding Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the best safari destinations to see predators, especially lions. 

Zanzibar - The Spice Islands 

Zanzibar is a true beach paradise with an incredible cultural mosaic that stretches back through history. From its mix of African, Eastern, Arabic, and European influences to the warm tropical climate and clear blue waters, there's no better place for a relaxing vacation. Zanzibar has something for everyone, from secluded honeymoon getaways to a plethora of water sports, or just endless stretches of white coral sand. You are sure to find an activity that suits your preference. 

Tarangire National Park - Off the Beaten Track

Tarangire is best known for its huge elephant population and tree-climbing lions, as well as being home to a huge variety of birds, including the superb starling, yellow-necked spurfowl, and pygmy falcon to mention a few. Tarangire National Park is scattered with baobab trees and termite mounds, adding to its unique landscape. Tarangire is said to host one of the world's highest concentrations of elephants per square kilometre. Tarangire is also inhabited by Tanzania's second-highest concentration of wildlife during the dry months. 

Lake Manyara National Park - The Loveliest Lake in Africa 

This scenic national park includes diverse habitats that support an incredible array of wildlife. Famous for tree-climbing lions, Lake Manyara is also known for huge flamingo flocks and other birds attracted to the shallow lake.  

Mount Kilimanjaro - The Roof of Africa 

Located just south of the Kenyan border, Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa. First summited in 1861, Kilimanjaro has captivated explorers and adventurers ever since. Today, tourists can hike to the peak or enjoy sweeping vistas from Mt Meru in Arusha. At 5,895 km above sea level, Kili is sure to take your breath away.  

Southern Tanzanian Safari Circuit 

The Southern Tanzanian Safari circuit is vast, untouched, remote, and teeming with a diverse array of wildlife. The Southern Safari Circuit includes the Mikumi National Park, Ruaha National Park, Nyerere National Park (previously Selous Game Reserve), and the Udzungwa Mountains National Park. 

Mikumi National Park - The Little Serengeti

Easily accessible from Dar es Salaam, Mikumi National Park is Tanzania’s fourth largest park. Mikumi’s main safari circuit crosses the Mkata Floodplain, an area known locally as the ‘little Serengeti’ because of the open grasslands punctuated by stands of acacia and baobabs. Often quiet, visitors to Mikumi can expect good game viewing including elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and a whole host of other plains wildlife, including good numbers of lions and spotted hyenas. 

Ruaha National Park - Tanzania's Best-Kept Safari Secret

Although Ruaha National Park is Tanzania’s largest national park, it is also one of the least visited. Covering over 20,000km², Ruaha’s wilderness feel, with few other tourists, is the big draw card. The dramatic scenery is defined by the Ruaha River on the southern border, which is the lifeblood of the reserve. Buffalo, zebra, impala, giraffe, greater and lesser kudu as well as roan and sable antelope are some of the species you will encounter, in amongst the largest elephant population in Tanzania. Ruaha is also famous for unusually large prides of lions, leopards, cheetahs, striped and spotted hyenas as well as the endangered African wild dog. Ruaha is a popular safari destination with regular safari enthusiasts who want to escape the crowds of the Northern Safari Circuit, and for those in the know, it is considered to be Tanzania’s best-kept safari secret. 

Nyerere National Park - True Wilderness

The Selous Game Reserve, renamed Nyerere National Park, in Tanzania is a remote and underrated paradise. Despite receiving fewer tourists than other famous Tanzanian reserves attract, the Nyerere National Park is well worth a visit. Nyerere forms part of the largest wilderness areas in Africa, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site because of its biodiversity. It is home to one of the world's largest concentrations of big game, including elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos, and buffaloes. Nyerere is considered one of the last true wilderness areas, and a haven for those looking to get off the beaten track. 

Udzungwa Mountains National Park - Afrca's Galapagos

An ecotourism haven, the Udzungwa Mountains National Park is home to a large diversity of indigenous species. This pristine mountainous region of rich rainforests and beautiful scenery is one of the world's biodiversity hotspots. The Udzungwa Mountains are sometimes referred to as the Galapagos Islands of Africa for the incredible number of unique plants and animals that can only be found in this region.
