Tanzania, a well-known safari destination, has several national parks to witness the greatest wildlife show on earth. Majestic game drives, the mighty Serengeti Park, dreamy landscapes, and teeming wildlife await you in the land of Tanzania.

If you are planning your first Tanzania Safari, this in-depth safari guide would help you make the most out of money and time.

Best National Parks in Tanzania

Tanzania is brimming with natural scenic beauty and a great diversity of wildlife. Tanzania has a huge number of game reserves and national parks. Some of the best wildlife safari destinations in Tanzania are

  • Ngorongoro Crater – This area is well-known for its lion pride and stunning place. It is also a great place to spot the big five and other wild animals.
  • Tarangire National Park – Tourists can see a huge number of elephants, buffaloes, and giraffes from June to October. This area is quieter and exclusive and has 550 bird species for an excellent bird-watching experience.
  • Lake Manyara National Park – This area is renowned for pink flamingos, tree-climbing lions, and boat safaris.
  • Ruaha National Park – This national park has the biggest elephant herds and offers superb predator sightings and is best for Tanzania safari tours.
  • Nyerere National Park – This area is home to rare wild dogs, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, and giraffes. 
  • Mahale Mountains National Park – Mostly overlooked by tourists, this park lets you explore the human’s closest relative, the chimpanzee. 
  • Serengeti National Park – This is one of the most go-to safari destinations with an abundance of big game. It is also famous for its stunning fields, exotic animals, and wildebeest migration. 

The Best Time To Visit Tanzania

Although Tanzania offers excellent year-round game viewing, it is the dry season and the Great Migration that bring huge crowds for easy wildlife spotting opportunities. Many visitors avoid visiting the Tanzania safari during the wet season.

  1. Best Season – Year-round (depending on the preference)
  2. High Season – June to August
  3. Low Season – April to May

The Great Wildebeest Migration

The Great Wildebeest Migration is, undoubtedly, Tanzania’s greatest wildlife attraction. It happens every year when about two million wildebeest and zebras begin to move across the Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem following the annual cycle of rain clouds. 

Many tourists like visiting Tanzania during the migration to see lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, and other animals. 

Beach Holiday

Tanzania is the ultimate combination of safari tours and beach holidays. Spend your day spotting wildlife and come back in time to be on the powder-soft beach for sunset cocktails. Tanzania has several worth-visiting tropical islands 

  • Zanzibar
  • Mnemba Island
  • Pemba Island
  • Mafia Island

Budget – How Much Does Tanzania Safari Cost?

On average, the safari tour may cost anywhere around $500 to $3000. The cost of Tanzania Safari varies depending on the time of the year, accommodation, number of days you plan to stay, whether you drive or fly to the destination, and extra activities.

Conclusion

No one can resist the charm of Tanzania’s rich culture, scenic beauty, and big game attractions. It offers the best wildlife sighting opportunities and leaves you wanting to come back for more.
