Tanzania

Tanzania is home to some of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth. The endless plains of the Serengeti, the perfect caldera of Ngorongoro, and the elephant country of Tarangire combine to create a destination of almost overwhelming scale and drama.

Tanzania Highlights

The Serengeti is synonymous with the Great Migration — hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra moving across open plains, followed by high densities of predators. The northern Serengeti offers river crossings (July–October), while the southern plains come alive during the calving season (January–March) with intense predator action and fewer crowds. Ngorongoro Crater provides a unique, concentrated wildlife experience in a stunning setting, and Tarangire is famous for its massive elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. Private concessions and carefully chosen camps keep the experience exclusive even in peak season. Ideal for photographers chasing the migration or big cats, families, honeymooners, and travellers wanting the classic East African safari experience.

Best time: June–October for the northern Migration and river crossings (peak season), and January–March for the southern calving season with excellent predator action, beautiful light and fewer vehicles — a rewarding year-round destination.

Highlights: Serengeti National Park and the Great Migration, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire’s elephants and baobabs, high densities of lion, leopard and cheetah, and vast open landscapes.
