The Top Highlights of Tanzania

There are several highlights to be aware of if you're considering a Tanzania safari:

Over 1.5 million blue wildebeest, 250,000 zebra, and smaller herds of Thomas' Gazelle and eland make up the largest yearly animal migration in the world in the Serengeti.

  • In Arusha, you can frequently see zebra, elephants, hippos, and Cape buffalo. A game drive may also offer the occasional lion or leopard. Walking safaris, Mount Meru hikes, canoeing, and game drives are some fantastic activities at Arusha National Park.
  • In contrast to most national parks, Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding area have unique ecosystem diversity because practically all ecosystems are found between the mountain's base and peak.
  • The Tarangire National Park is well-known for being a great place to go bird watching and has a variety of wildlife.

There are loads of opportunities to see wildlife in Ruaha National Park. This, along with the small crowds of travellers, makes it a magnificent location.
