Tanzania Safari Packages Include Serengeti

By Patty Goff


Tanzania is definitely a top wildlife destination. Most Tanzania safari packages include at least one of their three safari circuits. Northern circuit includes the Serengeti National park and Ngorongoro crater. This circuit offers one of the best classical safaris in Africa, especially if it is timed with the annual migration of wild animals.

Their famous Serengeti National park offers one of the best safaris you can imagine. Protected by Unesco, this amazing place offers shelter to so many animal species. You should definitely come here during wildebeest migration season, to get the full experience. So, plan coming here between January and August.

Ngorongoro crater is actually former volcano, usually teeming with wildlife. Except for giraffes, that can usually be seen in the conservation area, most animals may be seen here. The most common ones are elephants, hypos, zebras, wildebeests, lions, cheetah and others. You may also see the black rhino here.

Tree climbing lions are one of the most popular attractions in Lake Manyara National park. Large groups of wildebeests, zebras, buffalo and other animals live on these grassy plains. The place called hypo pool is home to numerous hypos, and you will have one rare opportunity to see them up close. All kinds of beautiful water birds are gathering by the lake, and you can often see beautiful flamingos there as well.

Tarangire National p.is crowded with all kinds of animals. This includes elephants, lions, gazelles and zebra. If you are lucky enough, you can even spot the rare fringe-eared Oryx, or large pythons resting on the trees. The best time to visit this place is during dry season, from June to October.

In Selous Game Reserve is home for different animals, including impalas and giraffes. This game reserve, thanks to several large water holes, attracts large groups of these animals. Lions find this really convenient, and you will probably see them in action. This reserve is interesting in all seasons.

Ruaha National Reserve is a home for most safari animals, except for rhinos. You can see exceptionally large lion prides here, as well as their famous wild dog packs. If these wild dogs are your primary interest, you should come here during their mating season, from June to August. Rainy periods should be avoided, for obvious reasons.

If you enjoy watching primates in their natural habitat, you should definitely visit Gombe National Reserve. This area is really popular thanks to numerous chimps living here. There are some other primates here, including monkeys. The place can be visited through all seasons, but it is still more interesting to come during dry season.

Katavi National park offers a great tour around Katavi and Chada lakes, as well as the tour by the Katuma River, packed with crocodiles. You will find numerous elephants, zebras, buffalo and lions here as well, and sometimes even beautiful sable antelopes. You can choose short, four day tours, or longer ones. In any case, if you want to treat yourself with something really extraordinary, visit Tanzania.
