Highlights
-
Arusha
Often the perfect place to begin a Tanzania adventure, the Arusha region is perfectly located for some of the finest safari destinations in Africa. However, it would be a mistake to write it off as purely a gateway destination, the region has plenty to offer.
-
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is famous for its high numbers of an iconic safari pairing, elephants and baobab trees. This park is a staple on Tanzania's northern circuit and for good reason.
-
Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro is world famous and very popular on the northern circuit of Tanzania. Whilst it is practically impossible to escape the crowds, you can be sure that your visit will involve something spectacular. It is very easy to understand why we flock there in thousands.
-
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is world famous for the annual migration of 1.5 million wildebeest and 250,000 zebra but in addition to this natural wonder, the park offers an abundance of wildlife and rich biodiversity.
