Why Choose Tanzania for Your Safari Adventure?

Tanzania is home to some of the most iconic wildlife reserves in the world. With its diverse landscapes, rich culture, and abundant wildlife, it’s no wonder why Tanzania is a top destination for safari enthusiasts. Some of the best-known safari parks in the world are located here, including:

  • Serengeti National Park — Famous for the annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras, it offers one of the most spectacular wildlife experiences.
  • Ngorongoro Crater — Known as the "Garden of Eden," this UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to a dense concentration of wildlife, including the Big Five.
  • Tarangire National Park — Known for its large elephant herds and unique baobab trees.
  • Lake Manyara National Park — A breathtaking park that combines lakes, forests, and savannah with opportunities to spot tree-climbing lions.
  • Ruinsori Mountains & Selous Game Reserve — A perfect blend of adventure, remote exploration, and luxury safari experiences.
When to Go on Safari in Tanzania

The best time for a Tanzania safari generally depends on what you want to experience:

  • Dry Season (June - October) – Best for game viewing, as animals gather around waterholes, making it easier to spot wildlife.
  • Wet Season (November - May) – Ideal for birdwatching and lush landscapes. Some areas, such as the Serengeti, have fewer crowds, and the Great Migration is also a spectacular sight during this time.
Best Times for Specific Parks
  • Serengeti – June to September for the Great Migration.
  • Ngorongoro Crater – Year-round, but dry season offers clearer views.
  • Tarangire and Lake Manyara – June to October for the best wildlife sightings.
