Discover Tanzania: 

A Journey Through Africa’s Greatest Wilderness

Tanzania is a land of immense beauty and thrilling contrasts—home to vast savannahs, volcanic craters, tropical islands, and dense mountain forests. This East African gem offers some of the continent’s most iconic safari experiences, where wildlife roams freely in stunningly diverse habitats, and each region tells a different story of the wild.

Whether you're watching lions stalk the plains of the Serengeti, trekking through the rainforest in search of chimpanzees, or unwinding on the white sands of Zanzibar, Tanzania promises an unforgettable journey.

Serengeti National Park

Best for: The Great Migration, big cats, endless plains
The Serengeti is the crown jewel of Tanzania’s safari circuit and one of the most celebrated wildlife destinations on Earth. The park is renowned for the Great Migration, where over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle move in a dramatic annual cycle, shadowed closely by predators like lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and leopards. In the central Seronera region, you’ll find year-round resident wildlife and classic African landscapes. The remote northern and southern sectors offer quieter experiences and excellent opportunities to witness calving or dramatic river crossings.

Ngorongoro Crater

Best for: Dense wildlife viewing, black rhino, Big Five
A collapsed volcanic caldera and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ngorongoro Crater is home to an astonishing density of wildlife within a relatively small area. This natural bowl is one of the few places in Africa where you can spot the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and black rhino—in a single day.
The crater floor features lush grasslands, acacia forests, and Lake Magadi, frequented by flamingos and hippos. Predators are abundant here, particularly lions, and there’s also a good chance of seeing hyenas, jackals, and even caracals.

Tarangire National Park

Best for: Elephant herds, baobabs, dry-season game
Often overshadowed by the Serengeti, Tarangire is a hidden gem known for its towering baobab trees and massive elephant herds, especially during the dry season (June to October), when animals gather along the Tarangire River.
Expect to see large numbers of giraffes, impala, zebra, and wildebeest, as well as predators like leopard, lion, and cheetah. The park is also a paradise for birders, with over 500 recorded species including yellow-collared lovebirds and vultures.

Lake Manyara National Park

Best for: Tree-climbing lions, birdlife, lush scenery
Nestled beneath the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a compact yet diverse park. Its alkaline lake is a haven for flamingos, pelicans, and other waterbirds. The surrounding groundwater forest hosts blue monkeys, vervet monkeys, baboons, and bushbuck.
Lake Manyara is famous for its rare tree-climbing lions, often seen lounging in the acacia branches, and the park also hosts elephants, hippos, and occasional leopards.

Ruaha National Park

Best for: Big cats, rugged wilderness, low visitor numbers
Ruaha is Tanzania’s largest national park and a true wilderness destination, offering excellent game viewing in a remote setting with far fewer tourists. The park is known for its healthy populations of lion—often seen in large prides—as well as leopard, cheetah, and the elusive African wild dog.
Its mix of habitats supports over 570 bird species, large herds of elephants, greater kudu, sable antelope, and roan antelope. The Great Ruaha River attracts an abundance of wildlife, especially during the dry season.

Nyerere National Park (formerly part of the Selous Game Reserve)

Best for: Boating safaris, wild dogs, diverse ecosystems
Covering a vast area of southern Tanzania, Nyerere offers a unique safari experience with both land and boat-based game viewing along the Rufiji River. The park is a stronghold for African wild dogs, and you’ll also find elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, hippos, and crocodiles in abundance.
It’s a birdwatcher’s paradise and an ideal destination for travelers looking for a more relaxed and private safari off the beaten path.

Katavi National Park

Best for: Remote adventure, hippos and crocs, dry-season concentration
One of Tanzania’s most isolated parks, Katavi is perfect for seasoned safari-goers looking for raw, off-grid adventure. During the dry season, animals concentrate around the few remaining water sources, creating dramatic scenes of hippos packed shoulder to shoulder and crocodiles sunning themselves on dry riverbanks. Expect to see massive herds of buffalo, elephants, and frequent lion encounters, as well as zebra, topi, and eland in large numbers.

Mahale Mountains National Park

Best for: Chimpanzee trekking, lake views, rainforest adventure
Set on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Mahale offers a unique combination of mountain rainforest and beach. The park is home to one of Africa’s largest populations of wild chimpanzees, which can be tracked on foot with experienced guides.
While chimps are the main draw, Mahale also hosts other primates like red colobus and vervet monkeys, and offers the chance to swim, kayak, or relax along the lake’s crystal-clear waters. Reaching Mahale requires effort, but the reward is unmatched.

Zanzibar Archipelago

Best for: Post-safari relaxation, beaches, culture
After days on safari, Zanzibar offers the perfect contrast with its warm Indian Ocean waters, historic towns, and spice-laden air. Explore the UNESCO-listed Stone Town, snorkel or dive over coral reefs, or simply unwind on white-sand beaches framed by swaying palms.
Zanzibar is also home to the rare red colobus monkey in Jozani Forest, adding a touch of wildlife to this cultural and coastal retreat.

Accommodation: From Canvas to Coastal Villas

Throughout Tanzania, you can stay in a wide variety of carefully crafted accommodations—from luxurious tented camps nestled deep in national parks, to eco-lodges perched above riverbanks, and private mobile camps that move with the wildlife. In the more remote regions, you’ll find authentic bush camps that offer intimate, off-the-grid experiences, while along the coast, beachfront villas and boutique resorts provide barefoot luxury and complete relaxation. All accommodations are designed to immerse you in nature without sacrificing comfort, with expert guides, exceptional service, and panoramic views at every turn.
