Best Places to Visit in Tanzania

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park offers year-round opportunities to see resident wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes and buffaloes. The Great Wildebeest Migration adds a seasonal highlight, with the best region to visit depending on rainfall and herd movements.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater combines dramatic scenery with rewarding wildlife viewing. Game drives may reveal lions, buffaloes, elephants, hippos and endangered black rhinos. Wildlife sightings vary, and no particular species is guaranteed.

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire is known for its elephant herds, ancient baobab trees and varied birdlife. During the dry season, the Tarangire River attracts wildlife seeking water, making the park a rewarding addition to a northern Tanzania safari.

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara offers groundwater forest, lake scenery and opportunities to see monkeys, elephants, hippos and diverse birdlife. Its tree-climbing lions are a possible highlight, although sightings are unpredictable. Bird numbers and species vary with season and water levels.

Ndutu

The Ndutu area spans parts of the southern Serengeti ecosystem and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It is a key destination for January–March calving-season safaris, often with peak births in February. Seasonal herds attract predators, making accommodation location and travel timing particularly important.

Zanzibar Beach Extension

Add Zanzibar after your safari for beach relaxation, snorkelling, diving and cultural visits to Stone Town. Choose your coastal location and accommodation according to your interests, budget and preferred beach activities.

Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking Extension

Combine your safari with a separately arranged Mount Kilimanjaro trek. Africa’s highest mountain offers several climbing routes, with suitable preparation and enough time for acclimatisation essential when planning your ascent.
