Tanzania safari country centres on the northern parks area of
Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Add in Mount Kilimanjaro and the tropical beaches of Zanzibar and you have the makings of a great African
adventure holiday.
Safari aficionados in Tanzania will also enjoy visiting the
national parks of Katavi, Mahale, and Ruaha.
It's a wonder that safaris in Tanzania aren't more popular, but don't
let that put you off. Just be grateful that the mass tourism of a Kenya safari package
hasn't reached these shores yet.
Tanzania Parks
Arusha National Park
The closest national park to Arusha town; northern Tanzanias safari capital.
Although elephants are uncommon in Arusha National Park, and lions absent altogether,
leopards and spotted hyenas may be seen slinking around in the early morning and late
afternoon.
Katavi National Park
Isolated, untrammelled and seldom visited, Katavi is a true wilderness, providing the few
intrepid souls who make it there with a thrilling taste of Africa as it must have been a
century ago.
Mahale Mountains
National Park
The park, like its northerly neighbour Gombe, is home to some of Africa's last remaining
wild chimpanzees.
Lake Manyara
National Park
Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favoured haunt of
Manyaras legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants.
Ruaha National Park
During the dry season (June to October), the Great Ruaha River attracts
thirsty elephants
and other wildlife to its sandy bank.
Serengeti
National Park
Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park, the Serengeti world heritage site is
famous for its annual wildebeest migration (December-July).
Tarangire
National Park
Thirsty animals know a good place for a drink when they see one, as herds of up to 300
elephants scratch at the dry river bed for underground streams during the dry season (June
to September).
