Travel to Tanzania, to come face to face with lions and leopards is one of such expeditions. Spectacular views of the Great Migration on the Serengeti plains, lakes full of pink flamingos and ubiquitous wild nature attract travelers like a magnet. Therefore, tourists from all over the world want to admire wild cats in their natural habitat, majestic giraffes walking among the acacia trees and hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras looking for food.
Authentic safari tours in Tanzania are expeditions in a specially equipped, comfortable 4×4 car. During such a trip, there is an opportunity to observe game, take a walk with a guide in the bush, have a picnic under a baobab tree or have dinner by the fire in tents like in the movie "Out of Africa". For lovers of sky flights, we recommend a fascinating balloon flight over the Serengeti plain.
A safari in East Africa can be a great idea for an unforgettable holiday with children or a romantic honeymoon. In fact, it is a perfect travel destination to celebrate more than just special occasions in your life.
Tanzania is famous for its diverse fauna and flora. It fascinates with its rich tribal culture and natural, largely unspoilt beauty. It is a perfect place for visiting National Parks, safari trips and relaxation. Tanzania offers a multitude of attractions: coffee plantations in Arusha, Serengeti savannas, Lake Manyara decorated with flamingos, chimpanzees on Lake Tanganyika, Kilimanjaro (the highest peak in Africa) and the crater of the extinct Ngorongoro volcano.
Safari in Tanzania away from the crowds
Tanzania has very interesting terrain and several different ecosystems. Therefore, this creates ideal conditions for designing a fascinating tour program. The safari can take place in an off-road vehicle or in a plane. First of all, it's worth a visit Tarangire Park, famous for its picturesque baobabs and lions climbing the treetops. Undoubtedly, the next point on the program is the spectacular alkaline Lake Manyara. It is home to animals such as flamingos that feed at the two hot springs Maji Moto Ndogo and Maji Moto, as well as crocodiles and hippos.
Manyara National Park located in the Great Rift Valley, it covers an area of 330 square kilometers, and Lake Manyara covers 230 square kilometers. The park area is crossed by numerous streams flowing from the rocks. However, the diverse surroundings of the lake attract various species of monkeys, antelopes, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes and large groups of elephants. In 1981, the Manyara Park area was classified as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO.
A trip to the endless plains of the Serengeti Park
A must-see during your safari in Tanzania will be a visit to the plains Serengeti Park. First of all, it is one of the largest protected nature areas in the world. Moreover, it is the oldest national park in Tanzania, established in 1951. The Serengeti plains are located at altitudes of 1000 to 1900 m above sea level. The Serengeti ecosystem is an area of northern Tanzania that covers approximately 30 km² of land, including the Serengeti National Park and several game reserves.
The areas covered with grass and acacia trees are rich in both wild animals and birds. There are about 500 species there. Birds in the Serengeti are characterized by great diversity, you will meet there majestic ostriches, beautiful crowned cranes, parrots, armed warriors, secretaries (also called snake-eaters), gloomy marabou, great bustards and vultures hunting prey. The Serengeti is inhabited by animals belonging to the "big African five", i.e. species considered the most dangerous in the bush. Composed of Africa's Big Five includes the buffalo, black rhinoceros, African leopard, elephant and lion.
The Great Migration of Africa
Each of you who is interested in African game has probably heard about Great Migration. First of all, she is known from National Geographic television programs. Undoubtedly, the annual animal migration is the main and most spectacular attraction of the Serengeti. Every year, between June and August, there is a migration of antelopes, wildebeests and zebras, which move in large herds from the southern part of the Serengeti north to the Masai Mara in Kenya. On the way, you cross the Mara River, where many animals become victims of crocodiles. Hyenas, cheetahs, leopards, deer and jackals are also residents of the park who come in large numbers to the feast.
It is estimated that approximately two million wildebeests, impalas and Thomson's gazelles, half a million zebras and tens of thousands of Grant's gazelles, topi, elands and other antelope species roam the vast savannahs in search of water and food. Therefore, this rich life of the Serengeti National Park has resulted in it being included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Ngorongoro Crater – Maasai and visiting a caldera full of animals
Certainly, no Tanzania safari trip will be complete if you miss a visit to the Ngorongoro Reserve. The crater is located 180 kilometers west of the town of Arusha. First of all, it is the world's largest inactive and fully preserved caldera of an extinct volcano. Its bottom is located at an altitude of 1800 meters above sea level. It is estimated that the volcanic eruption took place about 2-3 million years ago. The unique geological conditions created specific conditions for the development of flora and, consequently, a large condensation of fauna in the caldera.
Maasai villages are located between the Ngorongoro crater and the entrance gate to the park. This is a good opportunity to learn about their lives and take photos of the Maasai, after paying a small fee. This colorful tribe usually does not agree to being photographed by visiting tourists.
Interesting fact - building huts made of clay and cow dung is the responsibility of women, and men take care of cattle, which are the main source of income and "sacred" for the Maasai.
Gombe and Mahale National Parks – meeting with chimpanzees
For more experienced travelers, an office CARTER® recommends an incredible adventure with chimpanzees in rarely visited national parks such as Gombe and Mahale. They are located on the banks Lake Tanganyika. Certainly, Gombe Stream National Park is the smallest park in Tanzania. It is located near the border with Burundi. First of all, the main attractions of the Park include the sandy beaches of Lake Tanganyika and groups of wild chimpanzees in their natural habitat. In the 60s, they were the object of research by the famous British traveler and anthropologist - Jane Godall. Trekking in the footsteps of monkeys anthropoids in the Mahale and Gombe national parks is an amazing experience that you will remember for the rest of your life.
