Tanzania Safari Makers


The Serengeti

 

The Serengeti contains the Serengeti National Park and several game reserves. Its name means “endless plains” in Maasai, testament to the 12,000 square miles the area spans. It is one of the oldest eco-systems on the planet, with weather patterns, fauna and flora that are believed to have changed very little for a million years or more.


Ngorongoro Conservation Area


The Ngoronogoro Conservation Area includes the vast volcanic Ngorongoro Crater. You will find the ‘big five’ there (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino) but it has been home to humans, too… our ancestors left the famous Laetoli Footprints, the earliest known hominin footprints in the world.

 
 

Lake Manyara National Park


Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania’s smaller parks, but it is incredibly diverse – it contains 11 ecosystems and one of the highest densities of large mammals in the world, including Lake Manyara’s famous population of tree-climbing lions and the hippos that gather at the hippopotamus pool.


Tarangire  National Park


Tarangire National Park is a haven for bird enthusiasts – it is home to more than 550 bird species that you can see in the branches of the many baobab and acacia tortillis trees. And if you are lucky, while visiting this beautiful and diverse park you might even spot its famous white giraffe…


Arusha National Park


Arusha National Park, though the smallest (137 sq. km) in the northern region, has some of the most varied scenery and wildlife on offer in Tanzania! The park is located only 30 km from the “safari town” of Arusha and close to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), is wonderfully accessible—it’s a fascinating place to start or finish your safari
