EXPLORE 6 DAYS WILDLIFE SAFARI TANZANIA. TARANGIRE, LAKE MANYARA, NGORONGORO CRATER AND SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK.
●Tarangire National Park, located in northern Tanzania about 120 km from Arusha, is renowned for its large herds of elephants and iconic baobab trees. Covering an area of approximately 2,850 sq km, the park’s wildlife includes lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffaloes, zebras, and a variety of antelope species. The Tarangire River, which flows through the park, serves as a vital water source during the dry season, attracting numerous animals. Birdwatching is a popular activity here, with over 500 bird species recorded. The best time to visit is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife is most concentrated around the river.
●Lake Manyara National Park, situated between Tarangire and Ngorongoro and about 126 km from Arusha, spans 330 sq km, with a significant portion covered by the alkaline lake. The park is famous for its tree-climbing lions and large flocks of flamingos. Its diverse landscapes range from dense forests to swamps and hot springs. Wildlife includes elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, and various primates such as baboons and blue monkeys. Bird enthusiasts will find over 400 bird species in the park. The best time to visit for wildlife is during the dry season (June to October), while the wet season (November to May) is ideal for birdwatching.
●The Ngorongoro Conservation Area, located about 180 km west of Arusha, covers 8,292 sq km and is centered around the world’s largest unbroken caldera, the Ngorongoro Crater. This area is home to the Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and black rhinos. The crater's high wildlife density makes it one of the best places in Africa for spotting animals. The Maasai people also inhabit this area, offering cultural experiences alongside wildlife viewing. The best time to visit is year-round, although the dry season from June to October is considered prime for wildlife sightings, while the low season from April to May sees fewer tourists.
●Serengeti National Park, stretching from northern Tanzania into southwestern Kenya, covers 14,763 sq km and is famed for the Great Migration, where over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras and other animals move in search of fresh grasslands. The migration also attracts predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and crocodiles. Serengeti’s vast open plains provide one of Africa’s most iconic safari experiences, with a wide range of wildlife, including the Big Five, hyenas, hippos, giraffes, and diverse bird species. The best time to visit the Serengeti is from June to October for the migration and predator action, although general wildlife viewing is excellent year-round.
●In summary, these parks—Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti—offer a diverse and thrilling safari experience in Tanzania, each with its unique landscapes and wildlife.
