SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most famous. It is home to over 2 million ungulates, 4000 lions, 1000 leopards, 550 cheetahs, and 500 bird species in an area of 15,000 square kilometers. Accommodation options suit every budget, and the sound of lions roaring at night is an unforgettable bonus. There is nowhere else in Africa quite like Serengeti!

NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA

The Ngorongoro Crate is one of Africa’s most famous sites and is said to have the highest density of wildlife in Africa. Sometimes described as an ‘eighth wonder of the world’. The Crater has achieved world renown, attracting an ever-increasing number of visitors each year. You are unlikely to escape other vehicles here, but you are guaranteed great wildlife viewing in a genuinely mind-blowing environment. There is nowhere else in Africa quite like Ngorongoro!

TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

Tarangire is a highly seasonal park in northern Tanzania, with much migratory movement within its ecosystem. During the dry season, from June to October, large herds are drawn to the Tarangire River. Elephant numbers are particularly spectacular at this time, making the park an essential part of any northern Tanzania safari. Its unique seasonal dynamics and wildlife concentrations offer a distinct and memorable experience.
The alkaline soda of Lake Manyara supports an incredible array of bird life thriving on its brackish waters. Pink flamingos graze by the thousands, colorful specks against the grey minerals of the lake shore. Yellow-billed storks swoop and corkscrew on thermal winds from the escarpment, and herons flap their wings against the sun-drenched sky. Even reluctant bird-watchers will marvel at the sights within the national park.

ARUSHA NATIONAL PARK

Arusha National Park is a charming, small park in northeast Tanzania, near the city of Arusha, offering great views of Mount Kilimanjaro. It features a wide range of animal and plant species and diverse landscapes, from lakes, waterfalls, and swamps to volcanoes, mountains, and tropical rainforest. The swamps, rainforest, and lakes attract many beautiful birds, including silvery-cheeked hornbills and thousands of pink flamingos. It’s the only place in northern Tanzania where you can easily spot black-and-white colobus monkeys.

MOUNT KILIMANJARO NATIONAL PARK

At 5896m, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain and one of its most majestic sights, featuring three main volcanic peaks: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. The name “Kilimanjaro” itself is shrouded in mystery, possibly meaning “Mountain of Light,” “Mountain of Greatness,” or “Mountain of Caravans.” Rising above the rolling hills and plateau of northern Tanzania, Kilimanjaro’s snowy peak and glaciers shimmer above the clouds.
