Tanzania Safaris: Big Five Adventures & Stunning Landscapes
The Big 5 – The Must-See On Safari
One reason to take a safari in Tanzania is to get up close and personal with lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo and rhinoceroses a grouping known as the Big Five. Tanzania Safaris offers some of the best chances to see them in one day in the wild.
Lions
Lions are known as the "king of the jungle" because of their strength and majesty of presentation in the African continent. There are so many lions in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park that they roam its grasslands looking for something to eat. Lion safaris are some of the most iconic experiences you might have as a visitor.
Elephants
Tanzania is home to some of Africa’s largest populations of elephants. The Selous Game Reserve and Tarangire National Park are excellent spots to see these majestic animals. Elephant herds bathing in the river, or grazing on food, became a daily occurrence that I will never forget, so you don't forget the fact that these massive creatures are warm and gentle.
Leopards
Leopards are notoriously reclusive and most famous for being elusive. But Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park are leopard-spotting hotspots. Many nap most of the day up in trees, storing their kills out of reach of hungry scavengers.
Buffalo
Buffaloes are big, strong beasts often spotted in Tanzania’s grasslands and woodlands. Some national parks have buffalo herds Serengeti and Selous, for example. An incredibly interesting animal to observe from the safety of your safari vehicle, they are known for their incredible temperament and strength.
Rhinoceroses
We see the black rhinoceros very rarely because it is an endangered species. But just a few places around the world can see rhinos in the wild, and Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater is one of them. Conservation efforts are incredibly strict, allowing visitors to see these extraordinarily beautiful creatures up close , a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Stunning Landscapes: From the Serengeti to Kilimanjaro
But Tanzania is more than a paradise for wildlife, it’s also home to some of the most beautiful landscapes in Africa. Whether soaring over lush rainforests, rugged volcanic craters, or endless savannahs, it’s hard to believe the teeming beauty beneath when it comes to Tanzania.
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is one of the most archetypal billowing landscapes, its kind flowing wide around the world. The park is also famous for the Great Migration, during which over two million wildebeests and zebras cross the park looking for greener pastures. It is alive with animals, from mane’d lions and spotted cheetahs to plenty of sneaky hyenas, a vibrant and thrilling place to explore.
Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage site with a massive caldera, featuring one of the most recognizable environments of any spot on Earth. The collapsed volcanic caldera has an abundance of wildlife and ecosystems, with dense forests and grassy plains. The interior of this otherworldly terrain is where visitors may glimpse the Big Five, and the crater’s rim offers views unlike anywhere else.
Mount Kilimanjaro
Tanzania is also the home to Africa's tallest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. And while many tourists climb to the top for the ultimate adrenaline rush, others just stare at its snow-topped summit from a distance. Rainforests and alpine meadows flank Kilimanjaro, a striking contrast to the vast plains and savannahs.
Selous Game Reserve
The Selous Game Reserve is one of Africa’s largest protected areas and offers a more remote, less crowded experience. With rivers, forests, and grasslands, Selous is perfect for those wanting a gentle safari vacation. Visitors can go boat safaris on the Rufiji River and spot hippos, crocodiles, and various bird species.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is famous for its centuries-old baobab trees and enormous elephant herds. The park landscape varies from dry savannah to wetlands and riverine forests, offering excellent opportunities to see birds and shoot wildlife.
The Experience Of A Lifetime
Whether you pursue the Big Five or enjoy the beauty of Tanzania’s scenery, the experience will undoubtedly stay long after your safari in this magnificent country ends. From the sweeping, stunning savannahs of the Serengeti to the steep, jagged scrambles of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania is an adventure-packed destination. So bring it along, strap your camera over your shoulder, and prepare for the safari of a lifetime.
