Tanzania

Why Choose a Tanzania Safari?

• The Serengeti: one of the world’s great wildlife areas, with big cats and the Great Migration year-round.
• The Ngorongoro Crater: a vast volcanic caldera with an exceptional concentration of wildlife, including black rhino.
• Safari and beach in one trip: finish with a few days on Zanzibar’s Indian Ocean beaches.
• Easy to combine with Kenya: cross between the Masai Mara and the Serengeti on a single East Africa itinerary.

Top Destinations for a Tanzania Safari

Serengeti National Park

Home to lion, leopard and cheetah and to the Great Migration, which moves through different parts of the park as the seasons change. Follow the herds on our 8 Days Great Migration Northern Tanzania safari or the shorter 4-Day Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safari.

Ngorongoro Crater

A world-famous crater floor packed with wildlife, where you can see much of the Big Five in a single day of game driving.

Tarangire National Park

Known for huge elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, especially in the dry season when animals gather along the Tarangire River.

Lake Manyara National Park

A scenic park below the Rift Valley escarpment with forest, flamingos, baboons and abundant birdlife.

Zanzibar

Spice tours, historic Stone Town and turquoise water make Zanzibar the perfect end to a safari. See our 11 Days Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday.

Best Time to Go on a Tanzania Safari

• June to October (dry season): excellent game viewing across the northern parks. The migration moves north, with Mara River crossings typically from July to September.
• December to March: the herds gather in the southern Serengeti. January and February are calving season, with thousands of newborns and active predators.
• April and May (long rains): green landscapes, fewer visitors and lower prices. Some roads and camps are affected by rain.
• November: short rains, fresh greenery and good value.

Tanzania Safari FAQs

How many days do I need for a Tanzania safari?

Five to eight days is ideal for the northern circuit, covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. Add three to five days if you want to relax on Zanzibar afterwards.

Where is the Great Migration in Tanzania?

The herds are in the southern Serengeti from around December to March, move through the central and western Serengeti from April to June, and reach the northern Serengeti from around July to October. Timing varies each year with the rains.

Kenya or Tanzania: which is better for a safari?

Both are excellent. Tanzania offers vast, remote parks and the Ngorongoro Crater, while Kenya offers shorter drives and great value. Many guests combine both on one trip.

Do I need a visa for Tanzania?

Most visitors need a visa, which can usually be applied for online as an eVisa before travel. Check the official requirements for your nationality before booking flights.
