Tanzania Tour Packages and Wildlife Safari

Serengeti, another world for wide endless plains, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a biosphere reserve since 1981. It has the greatest concentration of wild animals on the planet and is the sanctuary for the world’s largest annual mammal migration.

Nowhere in the world will you find such rich predator and prey interactions. The rich animal diversity and the 530 species of birds you find here leaves a lasting impression on your mind. There are several ways I which you can enjoy the unique animal diversity here – through game drives, walking safaris, and hot air balloons.

When in Serengeti don’t miss sightings of the Big 5 – the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and black rhino as well as the giraffe, Grant's gazelle, impala, kongoni, topi and eland.

What was once an active volcano, is now a craterand is one of Tanzania's most popular wildlife viewing areas. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact ancient caldera in the world, and is nearly three million years.

It has a permanent supply of water, and it is interesting to see how the crater attracts thousands of animals who stay in this area rather than migrating.A perfect place for viewing large animals and birds, spend a few days in this place.

Often a stop on the way back from the Ngorongoro conservation area, the national park with the beautiful Lake Manyara has over 400 types of birds and not to mention other wild animals.

The Manyara National Park gives you the perfect opportunity to take beautiful photos of the flocks of flamingos, hence often referred to as the pink lake.

The national museum holds within its walls some of the finest artifacts and cultural exhibits representing the beautiful country, Tanzania and its rich natural history. The museum houses natural and historical wonders and provides an educational experience for kids and families alike.

Mount Kilimanjarois Africa's highest peak (5,895 m) and Tanzania's most iconic image. Mount Kilimanjaro National Park, unlike other parks in northern Tanzania, is not visited for the wildlife but for the chance to stand in awe of this beautiful snow-capped mountain and, for many, to climb to the summit.

Mount Kilimanjaro can be climbed at any time, although the best period is from late June to October, during the dry season.
