Where to Go In Tanzania | Best Destinations For Tanzania Safaris<\/h2>\n

\"Tanzania<\/p>\n

1. Serengeti National Park<\/h3>\n

Serengeti National Park<\/strong><\/a> is possibly Africa\u2019s best safari destination.\u00a0This park is so vast that the Maasai people – the original inhabitants of the area – named it a place where the land runs forever.\u00a0The vast plains are best known for Great Wildebeest Migration \u2013 the largest overland migration on earth and one of the seven natural wonders of Africa. Serengeti is the best destination for Tanzania safaris.<\/p>\n

2. Ngorongoro Crater<\/h3>\n

Ngorongoro Crater<\/strong><\/a> is another superb destination for Tanzania safaris. It is largest unbroken volcanic caldera on Earth and also one of Africa’s 7 Natural Wonders.\u00a0It comprises 260 km2<\/sup> of savannah hemmed in by sheer 600-meter-high walls topped by a cover of dense montane forest.<\/p>\n

Even without the wildlife, Ngorongoro would rank among the most stunning natural wonders in the world. But it is home to over 30000 animals including all the Big 5.\u00a0And its immense scenic scale regularly draws comparisons to the biblical Garden of Eden. There is nowhere else in Africa quite like it.<\/p>\n

3. Tarangire National Park<\/h3>\n

Tarangire National Park<\/strong><\/a> is best known for its huge elephant herds.\u00a0This Tanzania safari park is also a birder\u2019s paradise with over 500 bird species.\u00a0It is a beautifully diverse wilderness featuring huge swamps, riverine forests, and open woodlands that include the iconic baobab trees of Africa.<\/p>\n

Tarangire is located close to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro.\u00a0It is often treated simply as a stop-over between the more famous destinations on the northern Tanzania safari circuit. Yet those who choose to take a tour to here are richly rewarded by one of Africa\u2019s most underrated safari destinations.<\/p>\n

4. Lake Manyara National Park<\/h3>\n

\"Tanzania<\/p>\n

Lake Manyara National ParkFrom fabulous flocks of flamingos and big herds of elephants to tree-climbing lions, Lake Manyara<\/strong><\/a> has some seriously unique safari features.\u00a0 Perfectly complementing a safari in Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Serengeti, Lake Manyara is a hidden gem among astonishing array of destinations for Tanzania safaris.<\/p>\n

Covering 325 km2<\/sup>, this Tanzania safaris park is adorned by the lake, which claims a generous portion of 230 km2<\/sup> for itself. Described by Ernest Hemingway as the \u2018loveliest I have seen in Africa\u2019, its shimmering waters serves as a stunning backdrop to your wildlife adventures.<\/p>\n

5. Zanzibar and Tanzania Islands<\/h3>\n

You can end your East Africa safari with a relaxing holiday on the Spice Island of Zanzibar.\u00a0Perfect for both honeymooners and families, Zanzibar is where to go in Tanzania for glorious beaches, sunset dhow cruises, and cultural tours. Other Indian Ocean islands of Tanzania won\u2019t disappoint either. Mafia, Pemba, Mnemba, and Chole are superlative Island holiday destinations with superb diving, snorkeling, and exclusive boutique accommodation.<\/p>\n

6. Nyerere National Park<\/h3>\n

Nyerere National Park<\/strong> <\/a>(formerly Selous Game Reserve) is Africa\u2019s biggest game reserve \u2013 bigger than Switzerland.\u00a0Its lifeblood, the huge River Rufiji, creates an intricate network of oxbow lakes, channels, and wetlands from which one of East Africa\u2019s most magnificent ecosystems is born.<\/p>\n

Hippos, buffalos, lions, Wildebeests, and crocodiles flourish here. This Tanzania safaris park is also one of the most important sanctuaries for endangered wild dogs in Africa. Don\u2019t miss a boat cruise, a walking safari or fly-camping tours \u00a0is this breathtaking wilderness.<\/p>\n

7. Ruaha National Park<\/h3>\n

Ruaha National Park<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s wild and untamed character is what sets it apart from other Africa safari destinations. This hidden gem is\u00a0 second biggest national park in Tanzania after Nyerere, covering an area of 20,226 square kilometers. Despite its size, there are few safari camps here.<\/p>\n

You will see other tourists around \u2013 only a plethora of animals like giraffes, buffalos, kudus, sable, roan, lion, cheetah, wildebeests, warthogs, dik-dik, Oribi, and leopard. Ruaha is home to biggest elephant population in Tanzania and a stronghold for critically endangered African wild dogs.<\/p>\n

8. Lake Tanganyika<\/h3>\n

The world\u2019s second deepest is hemmed in by the mountainous walls of Africa’s Great Rift Valley. It’s one of most biologically rich habitats on our planet, not least due to the lakeside presence of the Gombe Stream <\/strong>and Mahale Mountains National Parks<\/strong>. These destinations are worth the effort it takes to get to them. They offer some of the most unique Tanzania safaris experiences: remarkable chimpanzee trekking and rainforest wildlife viewing.<\/p>\n

9. Mount Kilimanjaro<\/h3>\n

\"Tanzania<\/p>\n

Whether you want standing in its mighty shadow or ready to climb to its sow-capped peak, the legendary Mount Kilimanjaro won’t fail to stir your soul. At 19,340 feet (5 895 metres), it is the tallest mountain in Africa<\/strong> and the highest free-standing mountain on Earth.<\/p>\n

But its icy peaks are far more accessible than you may think.\u00a0If you climb Kilimanjaro<\/a><\/strong> during the dry season of July to October and January to March, no technical climbing is needed. But organizing and fulfilling a hike to the summit of Kilimanjaro requires a fair amount of logistical planning.<\/p>\n

10. Arusha<\/h3>\n

Most Tanzania safaris start in Arusha. This city is the undisputed Tanzania\u2019s safari gateway and it is on the safari itinerary of virtually anyone visiting the Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, as logistics often dictate an overnight stopover in or around the city.<\/p>\n

Situated in the shadow of Mt Meru, the city has its own international airport (Kilimanjaro International Airport) and the smaller Arusha Airport for domestic flights to final destinations. If you spend some time here, you will have several chances to buy souvenirs, take a cultural tour and explore local places of interest.<\/p>\n

11. Dar es Salaam<\/h3>\n

Most travellers to\u00a0Dar es Salaam\u00a0are on their way to the Indian Ocean coast or Zanzibar. But this bustling city offers easy access to the lesser-known Tanzania safaris park such as Nyerere, Mikumi and Ruaha. High-quality hotels and lodges is available if you need to overnight.<\/p>\n

FAQs About Tanzania Safaris and tours<\/h2>\n

\"Tanzania<\/p>\n

1. When is the best time to visit Tanzania?<\/h3>\n

You can go for a Tanzania safari at any time of the year, but the best time depends on your interests. If you interested in witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration, you will need to do careful planning. The best time to see the migration in Serengeti<\/strong> is June to October.<\/p>\n

And you will be required to stay in different areas of the park at different stages of the migration. The great wildebeest migration depends on the rain and is not completely predictable. If you want to escape the crowds, you will need to book your safari accommodation in the Serengeti away from the wildebeest migration. The wettest months are March, April and May, and any safari might be compromised at this time.<\/p>\n

2. Why visit Tanzania? | Why Go For Tanzania Safaris?<\/h3>\n

Tanzania is a classic safari destination. The wildlife viewing in Tanzania is excellent and there is so many places to visit and things to do. In fact, it would be hard to experience all of the highlights even in 3-day Tanzania safaris, let alone one.\u00a0The country has three different safari circuits:<\/p>\n
