Discovering the wonders of Tanzania
Apart from the incredible beauty of the natural environment and rich culture, Tanzania, a country with great tourist potential, should attract safari lovers. Tanzania in East Africa hosts some of the finest wildlife sanctuaries and game reserves, such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Tarangire National Park. In this article, you are going to learn more about the Tanzania safari and the experiences of this tour.
When to Go
But again, seeing a Tanzanian safari at its best is best done during the period considered dry season from June to October. This is a perfect time for animal watching as grasslands and savannas are at their green best making it easy to view the animals. Also, the dry season comes with the big animal movement called migration where hundreds of thousands of wildebeests, zebras and antelopes moved to the Serengeti Plains, in search of pastures and water.
The Safari Experience
A Tanzania safari usually consists of facts, interactive tours, car tracking, guided tours and watching the avian species. Qualified bilingual guides with great experience and drivers will show you unique jeep safaris travelling through the bush area giving you the opportunity to observe the Big Five – lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo. In particular about the fauna of the Serengeti National Park – cheetahs, hyenas and gazelles, as well as other amazing creatures.
Any Tanzania safari tour presents a good chance to discover the astonishing views and diver unseen areas of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This is one of the world heritage sites which covers Ngorongoro Crater which is one of the world’s largest Crater which is a good ground for wildlife viewing and has got breathtaking views.
The Great Migration
The Great Migration, also called The Great Serengeti Migration, is a truly unique occurrence that takes place at a certain period of time in Tanzania. This is one of the largest migrations where the wildebeest, Zebras, and antelopes from the Serengeti plains in Tanzania to Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya in the quest for grazing land and water. This movement is widely recognised as one of the largest migrations of wildlife anywhere in the world with as many as fifteen million participants.
The migration is normally observed from June to October with high-density migration recorded in July and August. This period also favours the viewing of wildlife and the natural setting is especially scenic. The migration corridor passes through Serengeti National Park where others move across different ecosystems including rivers, plains among others.

Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park sits in the northern part of Tanzania and is an understated gem of Tanzania’s safari circuit. This park has different attractions including elephants and cheetahs among other wild animals and gazelles. This park is especially known for its big Baobab trees, which are considered to be not younger than one thousand years old. The park also holds the Tarangire River through which water in the park is sourced by all the animals. But during the dry season of the year, the park is full of a variety of wildlife; the views are stunning. Features such as sandstone canyons and rocky outcrops add to the value of a park being a pro-safari park.
Accommodation Many campsites for a usual tourist in Tanzania could be noted, as well as exclusive lodges for the representatives of the wealthy layer. The Serengeti with all the varieties of accommodations is probably one of the best places offering some of the finest safari lodges with excellent views of the area. Some of the most popular safari lodges include: Serengeti National Park:
Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge and Four Seasons Safari Lodge are beautiful lodges that give contemplative views of the plains of the Serengeti.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area: The Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge, and the Lemala Ngorongoro Camp, both with excellent views of the Ngorongoro Crater.
Tarangire National Park: Two of the camps I would recommend are the Tarangire Tree Tops Camp which has the offering of treehouse-like accommodation and the Maramboi Camp with equally amazing views. Responsible Tourism
Like in any other safari, it is worth noting that responsible tourism is important. The displayed Tanzanian wild animals appear to be delicate and susceptible to human interference, there is a need for the community to honour their ecosystems and standards.
Some tips for responsible tourism include:
Stay with a reputable tour operator: It is recommended to pick, a tour operator that will possess detailed information about the area as well as the animals.
Respect wildlife: Do not come closer to any animal or disturb them in any way this is because it causes a lot of stress to the animal.
Follow park rules: There are particularly those rules and regulations that concern the use of automobiles, e.g., never trespass on the wildlife viewing lanes.
Support local communities: When selecting accommodations and services, people should prefer local companies that create value for the same places.
A Tanzania safari is a wonderful experience and you will always remember it when you are an old man. This country boasts of some of the most fascinating geographical features, great cultural values, and colourful wildlife that any potential safari goer should consider.
