Description
Serengeti National Park is one of the most iconic wildlife destinations in the world — a vast ecosystem of endless golden plains, dramatic skies, and some of the highest concentrations of animals on the planet. It is home to Africa’s legendary big cats (lions, cheetahs, leopards), enormous herds of zebras and wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and over 500 species of birds.
The park is also the stage for the Great Migration, one of the world’s most spectacular natural events, where more than 1.5 million wildebeest and zebras move across the plains in search of fresh grass. Even outside migration months, Serengeti offers exceptional year-round wildlife viewing.
What you’ll see:

• Lions resting on the kopjes
• Cheetahs hunting on open plains
• Elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos
• Hippos and crocodiles in river areas
• Endless savannah landscapes and dramatic sunsets

Landscape:
Expansive grasslands, rocky outcrops (kopjes), river valleys, acacia woodlands, and panoramic horizons that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Why it’s special:
Serengeti is Africa’s most iconic safari destination — wild, immense, and unchanged for thousands of years.

Description
Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most unique wildlife areas on Earth — a vast volcanic caldera filled with an extraordinary concentration of animals. The crater’s enclosed ecosystem creates a natural haven where wildlife thrives in a compact, dramatic landscape unlike anywhere else in Africa.
Ngorongoro is one of the few places where you can see the Big Five — lions, elephants, buffaloes, rhinos, and leopards — often within a single day. Massive elephant bulls, dense lion populations, large herds of zebras and wildebeest, and rare black rhinos make the crater a true natural wonder.
What you’ll see:

• Big Five (including rare black rhinos)
• Lions, hyenas, elephants, buffaloes
• Huge herds of zebras and wildebeest
• Hippos in the crater lakes
• Flamingos and rich birdlife
• Scenic views from the crater rim

Landscape:
A 600-meter-deep volcanic caldera with grassy plains, acacia forests, freshwater lakes, swamps, and dramatic steep walls rising around the entire crater.
Why it’s special:
Ngorongoro is often called “Africa’s Eden” — one of the densest wildlife areas in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Few places offer such close, guaranteed wildlife viewing in such a breathtaking setting.

Description
Tarangire National Park is famous for its massive elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and wide open savannahs that create some of the most atmospheric landscapes in Tanzania. During the dry season, thousands of animals gather around the Tarangire River — the park’s lifeline — making wildlife viewing exceptional and often dramatic.
Tarangire is especially loved for its peaceful, authentic safari feel. It’s less crowded than Serengeti or Ngorongoro, yet incredibly rich in wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalos, and a strong population of lions and leopards.
What you’ll see:

• Large herds of elephants (one of the biggest populations in Tanzania)
• Lions, leopards, cheetahs (excellent chances)
• Giraffes, zebras, buffalos, wildebeest, ostriches
• Over 500 species of birds — paradise for bird lovers
• Beautiful savannahs dotted with giant baobab trees

Landscape:
Golden grasslands, towering baobab forests, acacia woodlands, and the winding Tarangire River where animals gather, especially in the dry season (July–October).
Why it’s special:
Tarangire offers a classic, wild, and less crowded safari experience with spectacular elephant sightings and iconic African scenery.
