It's time to begin your safari. Welcome to Tanzania! After we greet you and provide you with the trip briefing, we'll take you out to help you discover why so many people think Tanzania is the best place in Africa to go on safari.

Wherever you go in Tarangire National Park, you’ll come across the park’s famous and larger-than-life baobab trees and elephants. These are the twin elements that give this park so much personality. There is, of course, so much more. We don’t just mean the huge populations of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras. Or the rugged landscape of rocky hills and rivers, swamps and savannah plains. You also have an excellent chance of seeing lions here – Tarangire is a real lion stronghold – and keep an eye out for leopards and cheetahs as well.

Spend some time in this busy northern Tanzanian town and you’ll experience, energetic streets filled with life and color.

The memories made in the Serengeti are etched into your soul forever. It might be the spine-tingling sight of a leopard stealthily stalking its prey across the plains, or the breathtaking moment when a cheetah showcases its unparalleled speed in pursuit of a meal. Picture yourself spellbound as an elephant family gracefully grazes just a stone's throw away from your vehicle, their gentle presence a testament to the untamed beauty of the wild. And who could forget the primal thrill of hearing the mighty roar of a lion reverberate through the savannah for the first time? Then there are the awe-inspiring spectacles of vast herds of buffalo, zebra, or wildebeest, moving in harmonious unison like a living, breathing river across the horizon. In the Serengeti, all these extraordinary experiences converge, weaving a tapestry of wonder and adventure that cements its status as one of Africa's most breathtaking parks.

Enjoy cool temperatures, forest wildlife (including elephants, buffaloes and leopards), and fine views of craters and mountains when you visit the Ngorongoro Highlands.
