The Best Big Game Viewing in Tanzania


For the ultimate game-viewing experience, get off the beaten track to escape the crowds and explore some of Africa’s best wildlife areas.

Tanzania is the ideal choice for viewing an abundance of animals including Africa’s majestic “Big 5”. The country has the largest proportion of land set aside for national parks and game reserves than any other country in the world. But, with the country’s ever-increasing popularity, it is more important than ever to ensure that you choose to visit the right areas to avoid the crowds and get the best wildlife viewing experience.

To fully appreciate the wonders of nature there is nothing quite like getting up close to wildlife in a secluded spot away from other tourist vehicles. To gain this more personal experience, be sure to select a camp or lodge that offers game drives in off-road 4x4 safari vehicles, perhaps where numbers of guests are limited.

Specialist tour operators, such as Gamewatchers Safaris, know exactly where to include and where to avoid. They have over 20 years’ experience in devising tours across Africa and they offer an unrivalled selection of Tanzania options.

Whether your perfect trip would include authentic mobile camping, walking safaris, small eco-camps, luxury tents or even up-market lodges, Gamewatchers Safaris will devise your ideal itinerary to ensure you get the best possible experience from Tanzania’s broad choice of national parks and reserves.

Tanzania’s most well-known wildlife area is the huge Serengeti National Park, covering an area of 5600 square miles and sustaining the world’s largest concentration of wildlife. The vast plains as well as woodlands and forest are ideal for viewing The Great Wildebeest Migration – one of the World’s Natural Wonders.

The World Heritage Site of Lake Manyara National Park, flanked on one side by the sheer wall of the Great Rift Valley, is famous for its tree-climbing lions and as a bird-watching Mecca.

Tarangire National Park is renowned for its ancient baobab trees and has woodland and plains attracting a huge concentration of animals and Big Game to the Tarangire River – the area’s only permanent water source during the dry season.

The Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area is best known as a very successful sanctuary for the endangered black rhino and it has unique scenery with mountains, grasslands, extinct volcanoes and forests as well as valuable archaeological sites.

Other areas include Ruaha National Park, Mikumi National Park, the relatively untouched Katavi National Reserve and the more remote Gombe Stream National Park and Mahale Mountains Park – both famous for their chimpanzee research.

With so many locations from which to choose it’s hard to know where to start planning your visit – so let the specialists at Gamewatchers Safaris put together your ideal tour to make the most of all that Tanzania has to offer.
