Wildlife Safaris in Tanzania
Tanzania, Africa’s safari gem, is a wildlife enthusiast’s paradise. Imagine exploring the majestic Ngorongoro Crater and the vast Serengeti National Park. The country is home to the legendary Big Five and countless other species. From graceful giraffes and playful hippos to stealthy caracals, African wild dogs, and a myriad of other lesser-known animals.
On a Tanzanian safari, you’re not just observing. You’re part of the scene. Animals roam freely, offering a genuine glimpse into their daily lives. As dusk falls, the adventure doesn’t end. You’ll relax in comfortable lodges, the unique sounds of the savannah as your lullaby.
The country’s landscapes are as diverse as its wildlife, from the Serengeti’s dry plains to Ngorongoro’s lush forests. Every corner of Tanzania offers a different slice of nature, promising a rich and unforgettable wildlife journey.
What happens on a Safari in Tanzania?
Picture yourself in a vehicle with a pop-up roof, offering stunning 360-degree views of the scenery. Animals often approach close enough for fantastic photo opportunities.
As night approaches, you’ll settle into a safari lodge or mobile tented camp for dinner and rest. Your African journey continues the next day, immersing you further into Tanzania’s natural wonders. The country’s breathtaking landscapes and rich wildlife have appeared on Hollywood screens in classics like “Hatari!” and inspired Walt Disney’s “Lion King”.
But an African safari in Tanzania is more than just wildlife; it’s a cultural journey too. You can visit Maasai villages to experience local traditions, and explore amazing historical sites like the Olduvai Gorge – the “Cradle of Mankind”.
For a unique perspective, try a walking safari through the savannah for close encounters with nature. Feeling even more adventurous? Soar above in a hot air balloon and enjoy scenic beauty from a bird’s-eye view. Travel To Africa Safari offers these and other off-the-beaten-path experiences to enrich your safari adventure.
When to visit Tanzania
Tanzania is the envy of most safari countries, as you can visit this destination all year round. However, the best time to visit for wildlife is during the dry season, between June and October, particularly for the peak of the wildebeest migration.
What animals you will see on the Tanzania safari?
In Tanzania, the allure of spotting the ‘Big Five’ — lions, leopards, buffaloes, rhinos, and elephants—draws many to its safaris. While rhinos are rare in East Africa, they can still be spotted, especially in the Ngorongoro Crater. The other Big Five members are plentiful, promising exciting sightings.
But there’s more than the Big Five. Tanzania teems with wildlife like cheetahs, wildebeests, zebras, and monkeys. Bird lovers will be thrilled by the 1,156 bird species, including over 800 residents and hundreds of migratory species, best seen from December to April. At Altezza Travel, we have many passionate birders who are absolutely delighted with the diversity of avian life in Tanzania.
