Tanzania, home to some of Africa’s most famous national parks.
Located in East Africa along the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, Tanzania boasts three of Africa’s best-known lakes – Lake Victoria in the north; Lake Tanganyika in the west; and Lake Nyasa in the south. Tanzania is known for its vast wilderness areas including the plains of the Serengeti National Park (a safari Mecca populated by the ‘Big 5’); and Kilimanjaro National Park (home to Africa’s highest mountain).
Tropical islands are another of Tanzania’s appeals. The island of Mafia has a marine park with whale sharks and coral reefs, which make it one of Africa’s premier tourist destinations. Known as the Spice Island, the beautiful Arabic-inspired Zanzibar has a rich culture and history, coupled with idyllic white beaches hailed as some of the world’s best.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is a vast treeless plain with millions of animals living here or passing through in search of fresh grasslands. It's most famous for the annual wildebeest migration but you can also see the Big Five here, and nearly 500 species of birds have been recorded on the Serengeti.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Located between the Serengeti and Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to the famous volcanic Ngorongoro Crater and is one of Tanzania's most popular wildlife viewing areas. An ideal location for viewing large animals and bird watching.
Lake Manyara National Park
The park is comprised of forest, woodland, grasslands, and swamps. Two-thirds of the park is covered by water and Lake Manyara is host to thousands of flamingoes, at certain times of year, as well as other diverse bird life. The highlight of Lake Manyara Park is the large population of elephants, tree-climbing lions, and hippos, which can be observed at a much closer range than in other parks.

Tanzania safari questions
When is the best time for a Tanzania safari?
June to October is dry and best for game viewing across the northern parks. From about November to May the migration herds are on the short grass of the southern Serengeti.
Where is the Great Migration each month?
In general the herds are in the Serengeti from November to May. In May they start moving north and by June they are heading for Kenya's Masai Mara, returning to the Serengeti around November. Timing depends on the rains.
Can I add Zanzibar to a Tanzania safari?
Yes. Our Wings Over Tanzania Safari includes Stone Town and four beach nights, and our Zanzibar Island Beach Extension adds four nights after any safari, from US$1,895 per person (2026).
Do I need a yellow fever certificate?
If you travel between Tanzania and Kenya, Rwanda or Uganda, you are asked for proof of yellow fever vaccination. If your doctor advises against the vaccine, a doctor's letter is generally accepted. Please check with your doctor before you travel.
Do I need a visa for Tanzania?
Yes. Most visitors to Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda need to arrange entry before they travel, and your passport must be valid for at least six months from arrival with at least three blank pages. Entry rules change, so we send current guidance for your nationality with your confirmed itinerary.
Can I combine Kenya and Tanzania?
Yes. Our Amazing Kenya and Tanzania Safari covers Amboseli, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti and the Masai Mara in 12 days, with a flight from the Serengeti to the Mara.
