The best parks for a safari in Tanzania are located in the famous Northern Safari Circuit, a must-see region for lovers of wildlife and spectacular scenery. This circuit includes such iconic destinations as Serengeti National Park, famous for its great annual wildebeest migration; the Ngorongoro Crater, a caldera home to an incredible concentration of wildlife; Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its climbing lions and bird diversity; and Tarangire National Park, renowned for its impressive herds of elephants and majestic baobab trees.
Yes, Tanzania is world-renowned for hosting some of the world's most iconic wildlife destinations, such as the Serengeti National Park, famous for its spectacular annual migration, and the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage natural wonder. With its exceptional biodiversity and breathtaking landscapes, Tanzania is an unmissable destination for an authentic and unforgettable safari experience.
A 3-4 day trip is perfect for exploring the main highlights of the Northern Safari Circuit, such as the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, while offering an unforgettable glimpse of wildlife. If you're looking for a more immersive and relaxed experience, a 5 to 7-day trip allows you to visit several parks, such as Tarangire and Lake Manyara, while taking time to appreciate the diversity of landscapes and ecosystems. Finally, for a complete and well-balanced adventure, opt for a safari of 8 days or more, combined with a relaxing break on the heavenly beaches of Zanzibar, to enjoy the best of Tanzania, between wild nature and relaxation by the ocean.
To prepare for your safari in Tanzania, start by choosing the ideal period for your trip. The dry season, from June to October, is particularly recommended for observing wildlife in the best conditions, especially the great migration in the Serengeti. Next, decide which style of safari suits you best: budget, mid-range or top-of-the-range, depending on your expectations and budget. Think about the type of experience you want: do you prefer a guided safari, with a local expert to enrich your adventure, or a self-guided safari for more freedom?
The main gateway is Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for the northern parks. Arusha airport (ARK) offers domestic flights. For the southern parks, use Dar es Salaam (DAR). Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ) offers flights to beach destinations. To save time on Safari+Zanzibar holidays, we recommend Kilimanjaro airport as your point of arrival, and a return flight from Zanzibar.
