Discover Tanzania's National Parks, Reserves & Mountains
Tanzania can be described in a single word - abundance. From the plains of the Serengeti to the summit of Kilimanjaro and beyond to the island paradise of Zanzibar, the possibilities for adventure are endless.
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti comes from the Maa word ‘Serengit’, which translates to ‘the place where the land moves on forever’. It is the far-reaching, endless savannahs that inspired the Lion King, and is now the most popular safari destination in the world.
Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater - with its lush green plains, woodland trees and wildflowers - is one of the most popular travel destinations in Tanzania. A stunningly beautiful place, it's often referred to as the ‘Garden of Eden’. Ngorongoro has been the site of numerous archaeological discoveries over the years, and it's now one of the best places for safari in East Africa.
Lake Manyara National Park
Described by Ernest Hemingway as the ‘loveliest I had seen in Africa’, Lake Manyara National Park is situated on the Western escarpment of the Rift Valley. Home to lesser flamingos, tree-climbing lions, and one of Africa’s highest concentrations of elephants, Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania's most popular safari destinations.
Ruaha National Park
Lounging under the shade of a baobab tree, a baby elephant eagerly awaits her afternoon snack. Her mother, the matriarch, tears off a branch to the delight of the infant. Ruaha has the highest concentration of elephants anywhere in East Africa. Here, you're at crossroads between southern and eastern safari ecosystems.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is famous for the thousands of elephants that come down to the park during the dry season in search of water, but there are also plenty of wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, buffalo and hippos.
Mountain Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcanic mountain located in Tanzania, East Africa. With an elevation of 19,341 feet (5,895 meters), it is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
Arusha National Park
With Arusha National Park, you don't have to travel too far after landing to find yourself surrounded by the African bush. Canoeing, walking safaris, and game drives are some of the best things to do here and make for the perfect start to any northern circuit safari.
