Tanzania Safari Destinations


Tanzania is one of, if not the greatest wildlife safari destinations in the world. Many people who go on a safari holiday in Tanzania stay there for around a week and take on around 3 or 4 parks. But the question is, which parks are the best to add to your itinerary? With consideration on journey time between parks and seeing a broad range of different sights, I have put together this article describing some of my favourite National Parks and Reserves in the stunning country.
 
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is the most famous safari destination in the world and spans over an area of around 30 thousand square Kilometres. There are huge numbers of animals that occupy the flat and endless land that makes up the Serengeti's terrain, but it is the unlikely characters of the wildebeest which bring many tourists to the park. This is due to the migration which over 1.5 million wildebeest take each year, which begins with a mass birthing of around half a million calves in the Serengeti and take them to the Masai Mara plains, trying to avoid drowning in Rivers or being eaten by hungry predators along the way.

 
Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Crater is probably the most amazing place I have ever seen in my life! With a stunning view from its rim over the gracious crater bottom, which is where the majority of the wildlife resides. And what a great host of wildlife you can see on the crater floor, with the legendary African 'Big Five' (rhino, elephant, lion, leopard and cape buffalo) being one of the most popular animals on many visitors spotting wish list.

 
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is a hidden gem amongst some of the bigger and more famous parks - it is my favourite reserve in the world! Tarangire is notoriously known for being one of the greatest reserves in East Africa for seeing large members of both the flora and fauna families, these are the Baobab tree and the African elephant. When I was on safari in Tarangire, I spotted not one, but two leopards! - A pair in Acacia trees, no more than 2 minutes a part of each other! This was a great sighting, and I hope that you are lucky enough to see a similar sighting if you visit Tarangire.
