Comprise the most well-known region of Tanzania and includes the Serengeti National Park, The Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park.

Which is part of the Greater Serengeti’s vast ecosystem, hosts Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacle, the annual migration. More than 2 million wildebeest, Zebra and gazelle complete a 1000 km pilgrimage in search of fresh grazing and water. The well-documented “river crossing moment” plays out In the western and northern reaches of the Serengeti as seemingly endless columns of frenzied beasts plunge through crocodile-infested waters in their quest to find greener pastures. In the southern regions of the 15 square kilometre greater Serengeti ecosystem, the migrating beasts rest briefly for the birthing season, producing 8000 calves daily before continuing on their odyssey.

This is the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world. The open grassland that covers the mineral-rich floor of this striking bowl is home to vast herds of zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, Thomson’s gazelle, Grant’s gazelle and Tsessebe, as well as East Africa’s endangered Black Rhino. Additionally, the crater supports the densest concentration of predators in Africa – lion, spotted hyena and leopard abound.

This is Africa’s largest game reserve and a true gem that is less frequented than the other, more well-known spots. One of the last untouched wilderness treasures on earth, it offers the visitor a unique opportunity to see Africa the way the early explorers found it – pristine, alive with game, free of tourist crowds and utterly awe-inspiring.

With its grassy plains, open woodland, mountains and forests, the Selous hosts phenomenal volumes of game. It is home to extensive, large mammal populations, including elephant, buffalo, hippo, lion, wildebeest and zebra. The life-blood of this area is the meandering network of lakes and tributaries that make up the mighty Rufiji River. Within the Game Reserve, varied and exciting activities including boating, walking and fly-camping add depth to ones safari.

Is the largest National Park in Tanzania. Remote and unspoiled, dotted with only a few camps, it boasts some of the most varied and dramatic scenery in Africa, from rolling hills, to large open plains, to groves of skeletal baobabs along its southern border and the Great Ruaha River, from which the park gets its name. Straddling the convergence zone between the northern and southern hemisphere species, this area plays host to a thriving array of wildlife, and at least 530 recorded bird species. Both Greater and Lesser Kudu can be found here as well as Roan, Sable, Eland and a strong population of lion. Cheetah, leopard, hyena and wild dog are further examples of the exciting range of predators here and elephant and buffalo gather in huge herds.

A true wilderness that lies in the remote southwest of the country: isolated, unspoiled and seldom visited, it is a hidden paradise that truly comes into its own during the dry season. The Katuma River is the only source of drinking water for miles around, and flanked on either side by luscious floodplains, it supports enormous concentrations of game. An estimated 4,000 elephants might converge on the area, together with 1000-strong herds of buffalo, while an abundance of giraffe, zebra, impala and reedbuck provide easy pickings for the numerous prides of lion and clans of spotted hyena whose territories converge on the floodplains.

Towards the end of the dry season, a rather unusual wildlife spectacle takes place. Up to 200 hippos wallow together in any riverine pool of sufficient depth, and as their numbers increase, their territories diminish and male rivalries reach their climax, resulting in fierce, bloody battles.

Is without doubt one of the most unique safari destinations in Africa.  Located in the far west of the country, Mahale lies on the shores of Lake Tanganyika and its National Park is only accessible on foot. Here, tucked away in the depths of the forest, is a flourishing community of chimpanzees: the opportunity to encounter these great animals in their natural habitat is a privilege second to none. There is a wide range of activities in the area to make this one of the most extraordinary destinations in Africa.
