Tanzania Safari Packages Offer Unique Experience

By Patty Goff


If you are interesting in safaris, Tanzania is the perfect destination for you. Tanzania safari packages usually include Serengeti, one of the most popular safari destinations of the world. They offer three popular circuits, and the first one, called Northern circuit, uncovers amazing beauties of Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. It is even more exciting if you choose to come in time to see the annual wildlife migration.

Serengeti National park is simply amazing place, declared as the essential part of the world heritage, and under direct protection of Unesco. You can visit this great place in any time of the year, but if you want to see one spectacular wildebeest migration, you should come between late 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.

National park Tarangire offers long, exciting tours to give you an opportunity to see zebras, gazelles, lions, elephants and other interesting animals. Very rare fringe-eared Oryx also lives here, and can be seen occasionally. Another great thing you can see there are enormous pythons hanging from the trees. Dry season is the best time for visit.

Selous Game Reserve is a great place to see large groups of giraffes, alongside impalas and zebras. These waterholes attract all kinds of wild animals, and lions see this as a great opportunity for catching something for their lunch. Dry season is the best time to come here, especially if you are interested for game viewing, although all other periods of year could be equally interesting.

Another National Reserve, called Ruaha, attracts all animal species, except maybe rhinos. Lions live here in large prides with more than twenty in each. The area is quite popular for its wild dog packs. The best time for observing them is their mating season, late June to August. It will be interesting to come here in any season, except maybe during rain season.

Chimps are the most popular residents of Gombe National Reserve. You'll find other primates here as well, including baboons. This small park is simply great for taking a long walk accompanied with expert guide. This place remains open in all seasons, but coming here during dry period of the year is always the best option.

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.
