Tanzania Safaris

Tanzania safari

In Tanzania, you may find safari practically anywhere you look. The second-largest nation in East Africa has lived with it for many years. Tanzania has one of the most diverse ranges of animals and landscapes of any country in Africa. A Tanzania safari offers an incredible array of safari experiences, ranging from the traditional savannah destinations of the Serengeti National park, Tarangire National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater to the beaches and coral reefs of Zanzibar. And that’s before you learn about the hidden treasures like crowd-free wildlife viewing in the incredibly wild and distinctive landscapes of Nyerere (formerly Selous) and Ruaha National Park, or chimpanzee trekking in the unspoiled rainforests of Mahale and Rubondo.

Here are some of our top reasons for taking a Tanzanian safari, from amazing year-round wildlife watching to the Wildebeest Migration and stunning beach destinations:

The  Great Migration

The yearly Wildebeest Migration is the greatest time to visit Tanzania since it provides an unparalleled opportunity to see animals up close. A Tanzania safari itinerary that focusses mostly on The Migration offers visitors an amazing display of the country’s most stunning natural phenomena. Approximately two million antelope, zebra, and wildebeest brave a fearsome predator gauntlet as they make their way through the Serengeti-Mara environment in search of fresh pasture. The herds are so massive that they are visible from space, making this amazing show one of the last major terrestrial animal movements on Earth.

The majority of the Migration takes place in Tanzania’s premier conservation area, the Serengeti National Park. To have a great view of the Wildebeest Migration you need to remain as near to the herds as possible, and on mobile camps on regular basis. Several lodging options provide quick access to destinations where rivers cross. It is important to note that during the river crossing season, which runs from June to October, there are only a few well-located safari camps available. Plan your Tanzanian safari at least a year in advance if you want to see the spectacular river crossings up close. You might also choose to visit at the times when the herds give birth and graze over the plains; this is less crowded with tourists and just as impressive to witness. Plan your journey to align with the herds’ movements by chatting with one of the Tanzania Safari Experts.
