Visiting Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers. The Tarangire National Park is known for its massive elephant herds, with over 3,000 elephants calling the park home. The park is also home to much other wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and giraffes. The Tarangire River, which runs through the park, provides a vital water source for the animals, making it an ideal place for game viewing. The Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most stunning natural wonders. A collapsed volcano formed the crater, home to diverse wildlife, including the “Big Five” – lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo. It’s also a great place to spot hyenas, cheetahs, and wildebeest. Now the Serengeti National Park, this park is arguably one of the most famous wildlife reserves in the world, known for its annual wildebeest migration. Over 2 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles migrate across the plains of the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing land. The park is also home to much other wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and giraffes. These three national parks offer an opportunity to experience some of the best wildlife viewing in the world and witness some of the most stunning natural landscapes on the planet. It’s a chance to connect with nature and witness firsthand the beauty and power of Africa’s wildlife.

What documents do I need to travel to Tanzania?

Do lodges and camps have mosquito nets?

We carefully select the accommodation on safari so that you are comfortable and relaxed and can experience a one-of-a-kind atmosphere during your safari. All rooms/tents during your safari are fitted with mosquito nets or are insect-proofed to protect you against bites. You are also advised to use insect repellent to further protect yourself, especially outdoors in the evenings.

Is Tanzania safe to travel to?

Tanzania is generally considered a safe destination for safari-goers. Visitors should follow the safety guidelines provided and take necessary precautions, such as avoiding walking alone at night or leaving valuables unattended.

When does the wildebeest migration take place?

The wildebeest migration takes place in Tanzania typically between the months of November to August, although the timing can vary slightly depending on the weather patterns each year. The migration is a continuous movement of around 1.5 million wildebeest and large numbers of zebras and gazelles across the Serengeti plains in Tanzania in search of fresh grazing land and water. In November and December, the herds of wildebeest can be found in the northern Serengeti near the Kenyan border, where they start calving. As the rains stop and the dry season sets in, the herds begin to move south in search of water and fresh grazing. By April and May, the herds are usually in the central Serengeti. By June, the wildebeest and other herbivores gather at the Grumeti River, where they must cross to continue their journey south. By July, the herds are usually in the eastern Serengeti; by August, they move into the northern region of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Is it safe to drink water in Tanzania?

Drinking tap water in Tanzania is generally unsafe, as it may contain harmful bacteria and parasites that can cause illnesses such as typhoid, cholera, and hepatitis A. Drinking only bottled or filtered water is important to avoid getting sick. You can buy bottled water at most shops, hotels, and restaurants in Tanzania. When traveling in Tanzania, it’s also important to avoid drinking water from sources such as lakes, rivers, and streams, which may also contain harmful bacteria and parasites. Instead, use bottled or filtered water to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth after brushing. Additionally, avoiding ice in drinks and peeling fruits and vegetables before eating them is a good idea to reduce the risk of ingesting contaminated water.

Tanzania is home to many national parks, but the most popular ones for safaris are Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara National Park.

What kind of wildlife can I expect to see on a Tanzania safari?

Tanzania is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, buffalo, leopards, cheetahs, and many species of birds.

What is the best time of year to go on a Tanzania safari?

The best time to go on a Tanzania safari depends on your preferences. The dry season from June to October is the best time for game viewing, but it can be crowded and more expensive. The wet season from November to May offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and lower prices, but some parks may be closed due to flooding.

What kind of transportation will be used during my safari?
