Mikumi National Park, situated in central Tanzania, ranks as the fourth-largest park in the country. It is renowned for its open plains that resemble those of the Serengeti and its rich variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffalo, and many bird species. This combination makes it a favoured safari location, conveniently accessible via the main road from Dar es Salaam. The park is part of the broader Selous-Mikumi ecosystem and provides outstanding opportunities for game viewing throughout the year, particularly during the dry season (May-November) when animals gather around water sources.
Ruaha National Park, situated in south-central Tanzania to the west of Iringa, is the largest park in Tanzania, renowned for its expansive, pristine wilderness, plentiful predators (notably lions and wild dogs), sizable elephant populations, a variety of antelope species, and more than 570 bird species. It provides a less congested, exclusive safari experience focused on the Great Ruaha River. This park is part of a vast ecosystem, reachable by both road and air, and is ideally visited during the dry season (June-October) for observing wildlife, although the wet season (November-April) is superb for birdwatching.
Nyerere National Park, situated in southern Tanzania, holds the title of Africa's largest national park, having been established from the northern Selous Game Reserve. This park features expansive, less-populated wilderness teeming with wildlife such as elephants, wild dogs, and the Big Five, all centered around the Rufiji River. It is renowned for its game drives, walking safaris, and boat excursions. The park offers a genuine, secluded safari experience with a variety of habitats and abundant birdlife, making it perfect for adventurous travelers in search of pristine nature.
Saadani National Park is a distinctive coastal sanctuary in Tanzania, where the bushland converges with the Indian Ocean. It provides a unique combination of traditional safari experiences alongside beach relaxation and marine biodiversity. The park is home to elephants roaming the beach, lush mangrove forests, and nesting sea turtles, establishing it as a dual adventure destination for wildlife and ocean enthusiasts, easily reachable from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar.
Katavi National Park is a vast and remote wilderness located in southwestern Tanzania, rather than in the central region. It is renowned for its large populations of hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and buffalo, particularly during the dry season when these animals congregate around the dwindling water sources such as the Katuma River. As the third-largest park in Tanzania, it attracts dedicated safari enthusiasts who are in search of a genuine, less-traveled experience filled with diverse wildlife and minimal crowds, showcasing grasslands, floodplains, and woodlands.
Serengeti National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is famous for the large-scale annual migration of wildebeest and zebras. In search of fresh grazing land, the herds travel north from their breeding areas in the lush southern plains. A significant number traverse the crocodile-infested Grumeti River in the marshy western corridor. Meanwhile, some take a northeast route towards the Lobo Hills, which are inhabited by black eagles. The granite outcrops of the Moru Kopjes are home to black rhinos.
The Ngorongoro Crater, located in Northern Tanzania, is recognized as the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and ranks among Africa's Seven Natural Wonders. Often referred to as a "Garden of Eden," it boasts a rich diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo, all residing within its 600-meter deep and 260 square kilometer floor. This unique location provides exceptional opportunities for game viewing within a breathtaking, self-sustaining ecosystem that features a variety of habitats such as grasslands, forests, and soda lakes.
Tarangire National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is famous for its substantial elephant populations, distinctive baobab trees, and the vital Tarangire River, which serves as a crucial water source during the dry season, drawing large gatherings of wildlife. This makes it a remarkable yet less frequented section of the Northern Safari Circuit, particularly between June and October.
The park's varied terrain, which includes woodlands, valleys, and swamps, provides stunning views and excellent opportunities for birdwatching, boasting more than 500 species.
