A safari is one of Africa’s greatest wildlife adventures and Tanzania is one of the best countries to experience a walk on the wild side.
It’s an iconic safari destination, home to all of Africa’s ‘Big Five’, scores of rare and endangered species, and the Great Migration, renowned as the greatest show on earth.
With 38% of its land reserved as protected wildlife areas, Tanzania offers a wide choice of national parks and game reserves, all designed for different interests and travel preferences.
Before you head off on your luxury safari holiday in Tanzania, you’ll need to know which parks and reserves are best suited to you.
There are two main ‘safari circuits’ - the popular Northern Circuit boasts the stars of Tanzania including the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, while the quieter Southern Circuit offers a remote wilderness experience away from the crowds.
To help you plan your safari holiday, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to seven of our favourite national parks and game reserves in Tanzania, including the top highlights, the best time to visit, how to get there, and where to stay in each destination.

As Tanzania’s largest and most iconic national park, the Serengeti National Park is one of the best places in Africa for wildlife viewing. It’s one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, and a bucket list destination for many travellers and safari enthusiasts.
Located in northern Tanzania, the Serengeti is one of the most complex ecosystems on the planet, stretching to the Masai Mara in Kenya to form the mighty Mara-Serengeti ecosystem. The climate, plants and animals of this region have barely changed over the past one million years, making it also one of the oldest and least disturbed ecosystems on earth.
The Serengeti National Park is also host to the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle - the Great Migration. Every year, beginning around July, over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra and antelope move in a thundering mass from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara, in search of greener pastures.
When the rains set in around October or November, the massive herd makes the 1,000km return journey back to Tanzania. From December to April, more than two million wildebeest remain in the Serengeti.
Home to all of Africa’s Big Five, the Serengeti is a wildlife lover’s dream, with the chance to see elephants, lions, leopard, buffalo and rhinos, along with giraffes, zebra, cheetah, spotted hyenas and other favourites from The Lion King. It’s a haven for bird watchers, with over 500 species of bird.
You can spot all the classics, but possibly also some rarer species including the recently reintroduced African wild dog. This unique species had been extinct in the Serengeti since 1991, and is critically endangered throughout Africa.
The Serengeti is also a wildlife photographer’s paradise, renowned for its beautiful scenery. You’ll roam through grassland plains in the southeast, cross valleys, rivers and forests in the west, and climb the rocky, hilly northern section of the park.

One of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Quick facts
Number of annual visitors: Approximately 400,000 Size: 14,750 km² Common Animal Sightings: Elephants, giraffe, all three African big cats (lions, leopards and cheetah), zebra, wildebeest, gazelle, buffalo, eland, spotted hyenas.
Best time to visit Serengeti National Park
The dry season (June to October) is the best and most popular time to visit the Serengeti, as vegetation thins out and wildlife gather around waterholes, making them easier to spot.
If you’d like to see the Great Migration, you can see the herds moving into the Western Corridor from May to July, however the main event of the Mara River crossing happens in July and August, and again in October or November, when the rainy season begins.
If you’d prefer to travel at a quieter time, visit the Serengeti from November to March, when the plains illuminate in lush, green vegetation and baby animals are born. This is also the best season for bird watching, however it is more difficult to spot big game in the dense foliage, and you’ll experience frequent afternoon downpours.
The heaviest rains fall in April and May, and some lodges and roads close due to flooding. Mosquitoes are also at their worst, so it’s best to avoid travel during these months.
How to get to Serengeti National Park
The easiest way to get to the Serengeti National Park is with a private vehicle transfer. You will most likely enter through the Naabi Hill Gate in the southeastern corner of the park, and the Serengeti is only a 2.5 hour drive from Ngorongoro Crater.
You can get there from Arusha, the safari capital of Tanzania, with an eight hour drive, or you can take a charter flight from Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport to any of the Serengeti’s small airstrips.

An award-winning lodge set in an elevated position with breathtaking views across the Serengeti grasslands, Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge is the ultimate safari lodge.

You’ll have easy access to witness the Great Migration, panoramic views of Moru Kopjes, and the classic Big Five. With only twelve luxury tents, feauturing vintage furnishings and modern facilities, you’ll come home to comfort after a long day of adventure in the Serengeti.
Named as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most extraordinary destinations on the continent. Located in the Crater Highlands of northern Tanzania, the conservation area is one of the country’s most famous safari hotspots, home to a remarkable abundance and diversity of wildlife.
It’s named after the mighty Ngorongoro Crater, an ancient volcanic crater spanning 260 square kilometres, surrounded by a 600 metre high crater wall. It’s the world’s largest intact and unfilled caldera, which alone is home to over 25,000 large game animals.
It’s also one of the few places in Africa where you can see all of the Big Five (elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo) in a single day, and the conservation area protects Tanzania’s last remaining population of the endangered black rhino.
You’ll have the chance to see spotted hyenas, slinking cheetah, the elusive leopard, large herds of buffalo and gazelle, and even the critically endangered African wild dog. Head to the glittering soda lakes, and you’ll spot hippos and huge pink flocks of flamingo.
If you arrive during the Great Migration, you’ll witness nearly two million wildebeest, zebra and antelope making their thundering mass movement to the Masai Mara in Kenya.
The conservation area has been home to human ancestors for around three million years, and has been occupied by pastoralist tribes, including the Maasai, for the past 2,000 years.
Since 1979, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area has been established as both a wildlife sanctuary and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it the only conservation area in the country that allows the cohabitation of humans with protected wildlife.
You can visit the Maasai cultural village, and also Olduvai Gorge, where the discovery of fossilized footprints was made, proving that humans were walking on two legs at least 3,7 million years ago. As one of the most important discoveries in history, which changed our understanding of human evolution, this is an incredible site to witness, and you can see casts of the footprints at Olduvai Gorge Museum.

Best time to visit Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area can be visited all year round, with two distinct seasons offering unique treasures.
The dry winter season (June to August) is the best time for wildlife viewing, while the rainy summer season (November to April) is less crowded with tourists and the best time for bird watching. You’ll see greater populations of the famous pink flamingos when the water levels of the soda lakes are higher.
If you’d like to witness the Great Migration in the Ngorongoro region, travel between December and March.
How to get to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area can be easily accessed with a 2.5 hour private vehicle transfer from the Serengeti National Park, or from Arusha, the country’s safari capital.
You’ll most likely fly into Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam, then take a domestic flight to Arusha Airport (ARK). From there, you can take a three-hour private vehicle transfer to the conservation area.
Where to stay in Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Our favourite luxury lodge in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area:
1. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
Set in a unique elevated position on the southwestern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, at an altitude of 2,375 metres, Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is one of Africa’s most magical properties. You’ll stay in opulent thatched houses with spectacular views over the region, featuring romantic private dining, attentive personal butlers, a private fireplace, electric blankets and rose petal bubble baths.
Get off the main safari circuit and head to the quieter Tarangire National Park, renowned for its incredibly concentrations of wildlife, and stunning natural scenery. Located in the Manyara region of northern Tanzania, less than two hours from Arusha, Tarangire National Park is often a surprising favourite for travellers. Many people either skip Tarangire altogether, or only visit the park for a quick morning or afternoon game drive, however we recommend staying for at least two days to take full advantage of this fantastic destination.
During the dry season (June to October), the Tarangire River becomes the only water source for scores of animals, drawing large herds of elephants (sometimes up to 300 strong), zebra, giraffe, impala, eland and warthog there to drink.
Predators, including lions and spotted hyena, gather around the river ready to strike, while leopards, cheetahs and even tree-climbing lions, can also be found in certain areas of the park. African wild dogs have been sighted in the park, although it is rare to spot them.
As one of Tanzania’s best birding destinations, you’ll have the chance to spot over 550 species, including the ashy starling, northern pied babbler, bushveld pipit and yellow-collared lovebird.
Tarangire is also famed for its breathtaking landscapes, with ancient baobab trees, acacia woodlands, and massive termite mounds (home to dwarf mongoose), dotting the plains.

Number of Annual Visitors: Approximately 160,000 Size: 2,850 km² Common Animal Sightings: Elephants, giraffe, big cats (lion, leopard, cheetah), wildebeest, waterbuck, eland, gazelle, buffalo, impala, hartebeest.
Best time to visit Tarangire National Park
The best time visit Tarangire National Park is during the dry season from June to October, when the wildlife are at their most concentrated. As vegetation thins and animals gather around the Tarangire River, the only remaining water source, you’ll have incredible wildlife viewing opportunities.
The dry season also coincides with the Great Migration, so you can head to the nearby Serengeti to cross this phenomenal event off your bucket list.
The wet season (November to December and March to May) is the best time for birders, as the summer migrant birds arrive and other species show off their bright breeding plumage. However, most of the big game have disappeared and you’ll contend with heavy downpours and rampant mosquitoes.
How to get to Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park can be easily accessed with a private vehicle transfer. It’s a 4.5 hour drive from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a seven-hour drive from Serengeti National Park, a four-hour drive from Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA), or a three-hour drive from Arusha, the country’s safari gateway.
You can also take a flight to the Kuro airstrip, located in the southern section of Tarangire National Park.
Where to stay in Tarangire National Park
Our favourite luxury lodges and camps in Tarangire National Park:

Built around a spectacular thousand year old baobab tree, Tarangire Treetops inspires a sense of romance and adventure in the African wilderness.

The unique rooms are elevated in the treetops, with panoramic views of the stunning landscape and wildlife.
2. Tarangire River Camp
Set in a 25,000-hectare concession area overlooking a branch of the Tarangire River, just 3.5km from the park’s main entrance, Tarangire River Camp offers incredible access to one of the greatest wildlife concentrations in Tanzania. You’ll watch herds of elephants digging into the dry riverbed, predators stalking their prey, and dozens of bird species flitting around the ancient baobab trees, all from the comfort of the elevated platform of your luxurious safari tent.
Located between Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park is an easy addition to a Northern Circuit safari.
However, it’s well worth a visit in its own right, renowned for its unique ecosystems bursting with diverse wildlife. This pocket-sized version of the Serengeti is host to at least 11 different ecosystems, with groundwater forests, floodplains, hot springs and open savannahs.
The majority of the park is covered in Lake Manyara, a beautiful soda lake which attracts hippos, pink flamingos and more than 300 other migratory birds.
Lake Manyara National Park also boasts one of the world’s highest concentrations of large mammals. You’ll likely spot huge herds of elephants and the famous tree-climbing lions, along with great populations of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, giraffe, warthog, impala and waterbuck.
If you’re keen to spot some primates, keep your eyes peeled for the resident baboon, vervet monkey, common monkey and nocturnal bushbabies. The park is also home to leopards and hyenas, although they are more difficult to spot.
Bordered by the Great Rift Valley in the west, and set beneath the cliffs of the Manyara Escarpment, Lake Manyara is part of the Lake Manyara Biosphere Reserve, making it one of the best protected areas for wildlife in Tanzania.

Best time to visit Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park can be visited all year round, with something special to see in every season. If you’d like to see the park’s abundant big game, visit during the dry winter season from June to October, when wildlife viewing is at its best, and you can also witness the Great Migration in the surrounding northern parks.
If you’d like to see the park’s birdlife and pink flamingos, visit between November and April, when migrant species arrive and resident birds display their colourful breeding plumage. The lake is also at its prime during this season, with lush green foliage dotted with bright pink flamingos.
How to get to Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park is the ideal addition to your Northern Circuit itinerary in Tanzania, as it’s only a three-hour drive from Ngorongoro Conservation Area or Tarangire National Park, and a five-hour drive from Serengeti National Park.
You can also reach Lake Manyara in just two hours from Arusha, or fly from Arusha Airport to Lake Manyara Airport (LKY). Flights take 30 minutes and you will be met on arrival by a representative for your transfer to your lodge.

No other safari operator has access to this area, and with just eight eco-friendly canvas tents, you’ll relish the tranquility. The conservancy is also the first project in Tanzania to combine conservation with tourism, and your stay will directly contribute to the welfare of the local communities. Go on night game drives, watch wildlife at the watering hole from one of the custom built hides, or learn about the local culture on a village walk.
Most travellers pass through Arusha on their way to the more famous national parks of the Northern Circuit, however we recommend staying for a few days to soak up the fantastic sights around the region. Located just outside Arusha, Arusha National Park is a small, yet rich in wildlife, and can be accessed with an easy day trip from the city centre.
It’s one of the country’s most exciting parks, with plenty of activities such as game drive, canoe safaris and bush camping. Due to the lack of predators in the park, it’s also one of the few places where you can venture out on a walking safari.
Although there are no lions or rhinos, and rarely seen cheetah, leopard and hyena, visitors will be treated to one of the country’s largest populations of giraffe, along with populations of buffalo, zebra, waterbuck, bushbuck and other species of antelope.
If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a glimpse of the handful of elephants, hippos and shy dik-diks and red forest duikers which roam the region. There is also a population of primates in the Ngurdoto Forest, including blue monkeys and black-and-white colobus monkeys.
Birdwatchers will entertained, with over 400 different bird species found in the park, including the bright pink flocks of flamingos that cover the Momella Lakes. With open grassland, dense forest, glittering lakes and the Ngurdoto Crater (known as Little Ngorongoro), Arusha National Park is scenically stunning.
If you’re looking more adventure, consider climbing nearby Mount Meru, Tanzania’s second highest mountain, or conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.

Best time to visit Arusha National Park
Similar to the other parks in Tanzania, the best time to visit Arusha National Park is during the dry winter season from July to October. Vegetation is more sparse and animals gather around retreating water sources, so wildlife is easier to spot.
This is also the best season to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru and to see the Great Migration across the Serengeti.
The wet season of December to June is best for bird watching, spotting newborn animals, and photographing the beautiful lush green landscapes. The peak of the wet season (March to May) experiences the heaviest rains.
How to get to Arusha National Park
As the safari gateway of Tanzania, Arusha is easily accessible. You can fly into Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam, then take a domestic flight to Arusha Airport (ARK). From there, it’s a 1.5 hour drive to Arusha National Park. You’ll also be within driving distance of the other major national parks on the Northern Circuit.

The Nyerere National Park is Africa's largest game reserve, home to all of Africa’s Big Five and an extraordinary amount of wildlife, yet it remains largely unheard of by tourists.
Located in southern Tanzania, far from the crowds of the more popular parks in the Northern Circuit, visitors to the Selous will find a much quieter, yet just as impressive, safari experience.
Take a game drive around the reserve during the dry season, and you’re likely to spot some of the 120,000 buffaloes that inhabit the region, along with the 4,000 lions, one of the largest populations in the world.
You can see elephants, cheetah, leopard, crocodile, giraffe, zebra, impala, wildebeest, eland and hyena. You’ll even have a chance of spotting the critically endangered black rhino or the African wild dog, with around 50% of their remaining population found in the Selous.
The Rufiji River is the lifeline of the Selous, with a massive network of waterways serving as the major water source for thousands of animals.
Take a boat safari along the rivers and wetlands to spot some of the 40,000 resident hippos and the huge population of crocodiles. You can also explore the Selous on foot with an exhilarating walking safari, or go off road in your guided safari vehicle in search of the incredible wildlife.

After merging with the Usangu Game Reserve in 2008, Ruaha National Park became the largest national park in Tanzania, host to massive wildlife populations. Despite this, Ruaha remains one of the country’s best kept safari secrets.
Located in southern Tanzania, the park is only accessible airplane. Wildly remote and bursting with wildlife - this is the ideal escape from the well beaten safari track.
Its beautiful landscapes are made up of vast open plains, rolling hills, ancient baobab trees, and the Great Ruaha River, the heart of the national park. Scores of animals are drawn to this great river to drink and hunt for prey, and the park is home to an incredible abundance of diversity of wildlife.
You’ll likely spot some of the 12,000 elephants, one of the largest populations in Tanzania, and in just a few days, you can find cheetah, leopard, spotted hyena, black-backed jackal, large prides of lions, and great populations of giraffe, zebra, buffalo, waterbuck, hartebeest, kudu, impala, bushbuck, roan, gazelle and other species of antelope.
You may also be lucky to spot the rare striped hyena, or the critically endangered African wild dog, with around 100 wild dogs remaining in the park.
Due to the sheer size and remote location of Ruaha, we recommend spending at least three or four nights in the park. There are only a few camps here, although our favourites are definitely worth a longer stay.
