Tour overview
Best of Tanzania’s Wildlife. The Serengeti is home to one of nature’s greatest and largest animal migrations. More than 1.5 million white bearded wildebeest and 250,000 zebras take part in the 1000km journey in search of greener pastures, which makes the park full of clout all year round. Tarangire on the other hand, is a park for those who want to step that much further off the beaten track to experience a truly wild area. The African wild dog, kudu, oryx and gerenuk, rarely found in other parks in the northern circuit, can also be found here, along with arguably the best bird diversity in Africa. Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara are also one of the popular safari locations in Tanzania, and are scenic, wildlife rich locations which form the northern safari circuit.
