Which animals can you spot on a Tanzania safari

In Tanzania, the appeal of encountering the ‘Big Five’—lions, leopards, buffaloes, rhinos, and elephants—on safaris attracts numerous visitors. Although rhinos are scarce in East Africa, they can still be seen, notably in the Ngorongoro Crater. The other members of the Big Five are abundant, ensuring thrilling wildlife sightings.

But there’s more to Tanzania than the Big Five. The country teems with wildlife such as cheetahs, wildebeests, zebras, and monkeys. Bird enthusiasts will be thrilled by the 1,156 bird species, including over 800 resident and hundreds of migratory species, best seen from December to April. At Key 2 Tanzania, we have many passionate birders who are captivated by the diverse avian life in Tanzania.

Tanzania Safari camps and lodges

Tanzania safari guides will take you to the most iconic places in the national parks. Tanzania safaris are not just about wilderness adventures. The lodges where you stay play a big part in the experience too. Picture enjoying a drink on a terrace, overlooking the sprawling savannah – it’s quintessential safari.

At Key 2 Tanzania, choosing the right lodges for our Tanzania safari tours is key. We scrutinize everything from room quality to staff professionalism and menu variety. Our team personally visits each lodge to ensure they match our high standards.

The location of lodges is vital. We pick lodges and camps for their stunning views, both from guest rooms and communal areas. Whether in the Serengeti, near the Ngorongoro Crater, or by Lake Manyara, you’ll always feel immersed in the savannah’s spirit.

Popular questions about Tanzania Safari

To truly experience Tanzania’s safari wonders like Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Tarangire National Park, aim for a 5-7 day trip. This will give you enough time to explore the northern circuit and see the Big Five and other key animals. For those who can stay longer, there are incredible safari journeys lasting 20+ days!

If you’re short on time, a quick safari covering Arusha and either Tarangire or Lake Manyara National Park can be done in 1-2 days. It’s a great snapshot of Tanzania’s wildlife. And, if you’re keen on the Serengeti but pressed for time, flying directly there is a good option.

For Kilimanjaro treks and expeditions, consider booking with Kilimanjaro Mega Expeditions for a reliable and memorable experience.

Choosing the right time for a safari in Tanzania really depends on your preferences. The dry season, spanning June to October and January to March, is ideal for wildlife spotting as animals gather around water sources. You’ll enjoy sunny days, but expect crowds, especially during the Great Migration and the birthing seasons of zebras and wildebeests.

On the other hand, the rainy season, in April-May and November-December, offers a lush landscape with fewer visitors and potential discounts at lodges. Transition periods like late March, early June, late October, and November are perfect for a more peaceful experience, balancing good weather with fewer tourists.

The Great Wildebeest Migration is a mesmerizing natural spectacle for wildlife lovers, featuring over a million animals traversing the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Starting with calving in the southern Serengeti, near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, they wind through the Serengeti towards Kenya’s Masai Mara, returning by year’s end. One of the most dramatic parts of this migration is the Mara River crossing. Here, the migration herds face the challenging currents and hungry predators lurking in the waters. Watching thousands of these animals navigate the Mara river is a highlight for many travelers. This breathtaking journey is brought to you by Kilimanjaro Mega Expeditions.

The Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti offers year-round drama, peaking with the wildebeest calving season in February-March and dramatic river crossings in May-August, before moving to Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve from August to October.

Kilimanjaro International Airport serves as the gateway to northern Tanzania’s national parks, including the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and is conveniently located near Mount Kilimanjaro. For access to the southern parks, Dar Es Salaam International Airport is the primary entry point.

For a safari, choose shirts and pants in neutral colors like khaki or gray to blend in and hide dust. Avoid white, blue, and camouflage clothing, as blue attracts tsetse flies and camouflage is restricted for civilians. Dresses are great for lodges, but pants are more practical for drives. Remember sun protection: bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. For footwear, sandals are fine for lodges, but closed shoes are better for drives. Pack a warm jacket for chilly mornings and evenings, especially in high-altitude areas. Learn more in this article from Kilimanjaro Mega Expeditions.

Two countries in East Africa provide remarkable safari experiences: Kenya and Tanzania. However, Tanzania frequently stands out. Many prefer it for its less crowded parks and abundant wildlife, including unique animal sightings. The extended Great Migration period in the Serengeti National Park is also a major attraction. Additionally, the country offers the opportunity to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, with Kilimanjaro Mega Expeditions.

Leaving the car on a Tanzania safari is permitted only in designated areas. For safety reasons, leaving a car in the middle of the national park is not allowed. Kilimanjaro Mega Expeditions ensures that these guidelines are strictly followed to protect both visitors and wildlife.
