Tanzania Safaris

An essential destination on Tanzania safaris is Serengeti National Park, the country's largest and most famous reserve. With 5,700 square miles of plains stretching as far as the eye can see, the Serengeti is home to one of the most diverse wild animal populations on Earth. The greatest density of wildlife found on Tanzania safaris is in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, known as "Africa's Eden." Safari participants descend nearly 2,000 feet into the Ngorongoro crater to observe large herds of zebra, wildebeest, gazelle and their predators.

Many Tanzania safaris explore Lake Manyara National Park. With dense forests, bush plains, cliffs and hot springs, the diverse land gives rise to abundant wildlife including impalas, elephants, giraffes, pink flamingos, yellow-billed storks and the world's largest concentration of baboons. South of Lake Manyara is Tarangire National Park, which boasts a large elephant population.

In addition to wildlife viewing, Tanzania safaris might provide opportunities to interact with the country's indigenous peoples or visit a coffee plantation. A few safari itineraries venture to the island of Zanzibar, off Tanzania's coast. Tanzania is also home to Africa's highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, whose snowcapped peak soars to 19,340 feet.

Tanzania safaris are available year-round. The most massive game migrations occur in April through June and October through December. The best months to climb Mount Kilimanjaro are the milder spring and fall months of August through October and January through March.
