Our Top Picks
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world and is therefore unequaled for its natural beauty. The focus of most safaris in northern Tanzania, Serengeti National Park is renowned as the arena for the world’s greatest mammal migration. The annual great migration comprises more than 2 million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle traveling an 800km/500mi loop across the savannah of the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem.
Ngorongoro Crater
A visit to the Ngorongoro Crater is an experience of a lifetime. There are few places that have comparable wildlife densities. The crater is also home to a good number of old elephant bulls with massive tusks. These lone giants tend to be super relaxed around vehicles, which can result in very special sightings.
Lake Manyara National Park
It is famous for its tree-climbing lions and large elephant herds. The park entrance leads to a junglelike groundwater forest, which is home to big numbers of olive baboon and blue monkey. Due to Lake Manyara’s high water level in recent years, there isn’t a game-drive track following the shore anymore. This has unfortunately changed the quality of wildlife viewing and birding considerably. However, four of the Big Five are present (rhino is absent).
