Tanzania Safari Packages Offer Unique Experience

By Patty Goff


Tanzania is definitely a top wildlife destination. Most Tanzania safari packages include at least one of their three safari circuits. Northern circuit includes the Serengeti National park and Ngorongoro crater. This circuit offers one of the best classical safaris in Africa, especially if it is timed with the annual migration of wild animals.

Serengeti National park is simply amazing place, declared as the essential part of the world heritage, and under direct protection of Unesco. You can visit this great place in any time of the year, but if you want to see one spectacular wildebeest migration, you should come between late January and August.

Ngorongoro crater is actually former volcano, usually teeming with wildlife. Except for giraffes, that can usually be seen in the conservation area, most animals may be seen here. The most common ones are elephants, hypos, zebras, wildebeests, lions, cheetah and others. You may also see the black rhino here.

Lake Manyara National park offers wide grassy plains crowded with numerous animal species, including tree-climbing lions, wildebeests and zebras. You will find enormous groups of buffalo there, and if you love hypos, you will have the opportunity to see them around hypo pool. Flamingos and a wide variety of water birds are usually around the lake.

National park Tarangire offers long, exciting tours to give you an opportunity to see zebras, gazelles, lions, elephants and other interesting animals. Very rare fringe-eared Oryx also lives here, and can be seen occasionally. Another great thing you can see there are enormous pythons hanging from the trees. Dry season is the best time for visit.

In Selous Game Reserve is home for different animals, including impalas and giraffes. This game reserve, thanks to several large water holes, attracts large groups of these animals. Lions find this really convenient, and you will probably see them in action. This reserve is interesting in all seasons.

Ruaha National Reserve is a home for most safari animals, except for rhinos. You can see exceptionally large lion prides here, as well as their famous wild dog packs. If these wild dogs are your primary interest, you should come here during their mating season, from June to August. Rainy periods should be avoided, for obvious reasons.

Chimps are the most popular residents of Gombe National Reserve. You'll find other primates here as well, including baboons. This small park is simply great for taking a long walk accompanied with expert guide. This place remains open in all seasons, but coming here during dry period of the year is always the best option.

Katavi National park offers a great tour around Katavi and Chada lakes, as well as the tour by the Katuma River, packed with crocodiles. You will find numerous elephants, zebras, buffalo and lions here as well, and sometimes even beautiful sable antelopes. You can choose short, four day tours, or longer ones. In any case, if you want to treat yourself with something really extraordinary, visit Tanzania.
