Ngorongoro Crater

This spectacular UNESCO conservation area is the world’s largest unbroken caldera. Its fertile soil is home to the largest hooved mammal herds in Africa (such as plains zebras, wildebeests, Thomson’s gazelles, etc.). It also hosts lions, spotted hyenas, leopards, and cheetahs. If you are very lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhinoceros and African hunting dog. Visiting Ngorongoro Crater gives you the chance to see the Big Five in one place.

Serengeti

This phenomenal national park is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where people travel from around the globe to witness the Great Migration and try their luck at seeing the Big Five. When you choose to visit, you will experience wildlife, both large and small, in such a boundlessly pristine environment you will leave Serengeti wishing you had more time to explore the riches of this magnificent, unspoiled park. Visiting Serengeti National Park gives you the chance to see the Big Five in one place. The best time to visit for an opportunity to see the Great Migration is August and September.

 

Tarangire

Welcome to the 6th largest national park in Tanzania! If you love elephants or birdwatching, this park should be on your list. Tarangire is an exceptional wildlife area, home to one of the largest elephant populations in Africa, with herds of 300 members. Plus, there are over 545 species of birds! In this 2,600 square-kilometer oasis, a mini-wildlife migration takes place during the dry season (June-October), when nearly 250,000 animals enter the park.

When you visit this park, expect to be greeted by a shoreline dotted with pink flamingos. As you are swept up in the richness of your surroundings, keep an eye out for the tree-climbing lions that make this park famous.

In addition to your time seeing Tanzania’s dazzling landscapes and animal populations, you might want to incorporate cultural excursions for your trip, such as visiting the Maasai, who are traditionally a nomadic, pastoralist community. Learning more about their rich traditions and exploring other cultural opportunities will enhance any visit to Tanzania.
