Arusha is Tanzania’s safari capital, located in the northern part of the country at the foothills of Mount Meru. The town serves as the primary gateway to Tanzania’s most famous national parks, including Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara.

With its cool climate, scenic surroundings, and international atmosphere, Arusha is both a logistical hub and a pleasant destination offering cultural attractions, markets, and nearby natural sites.

Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s most iconic and internationally renowned wildlife destination, covering vast open plains, rolling grasslands, riverine forests, and granite kopjes. Located in northern Tanzania, the park forms the heart of the greater Serengeti ecosystem, which stretches into Kenya’s Maasai Mara. The name “Serengeti” originates from the Maasai word Siringet, meaning “endless plains,” perfectly describing the park’s expansive landscapes.

The park is most famous for hosting the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of the largest and most dramatic wildlife movements on Earth. Beyond the migration, Serengeti offers exceptional year-round game viewing, dramatic predator-prey interactions, and breathtaking scenery. Its vast size and diverse habitats make it a cornerstone of Tanzania safari itineraries and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Northern Serengeti is a premier safari destination in Tanzania, renowned for its vast open plains, dramatic landscapes, and exceptional wildlife encounters. This remote region is most famous for hosting the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest and zebras gather at the Mara River between July and October, facing crocodile-filled waters during their iconic river crossings. Northern Serengeti offers outstanding game viewing year-round, with abundant predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as elephants, giraffes, and large buffalo herds. Its combination of pristine wilderness, fewer safari vehicles, luxury tented camps, and proximity to Kenya’s Maasai Mara makes Northern Serengeti a top choice for an authentic, high-quality African safari experience.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of Tanzania’s most iconic safari destinations, celebrated for the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers exceptional wildlife viewing, with a dense concentration of animals including lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and large herds of wildebeest and zebras roaming the crater floor year-round. Surrounded by dramatic highland scenery, lush forests, and open grasslands, Ngorongoro provides a unique safari experience that combines breathtaking landscapes with reliable Big Five sightings. Its close proximity to Serengeti National Park and rich Maasai cultural heritage make Ngorongoro an essential highlight of any Tanzania safari itinerary.

Tarangire National Park is one of Tanzania’s most rewarding safari destinations, renowned for its vast elephant populations and iconic baobab-studded landscapes. Located along the Tarangire River, the park attracts large concentrations of wildlife during the dry season, including elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and diverse antelope species. Tarangire is especially famous for its rich birdlife, with over 500 recorded species, making it a prime location for birdwatching safaris. Its combination of scenic savannah, seasonal swamps, and quieter game-viewing experience makes Tarangire National Park an essential part of any northern Tanzania safari itinerary.

The last day! Depending on your flight time, you can relax in the lodge a bit longer before heading to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your flight home. Having second thoughts? It's also possible to add a few days to your holiday by going to one of Tanzania's paradise islands, such as Zanzibar, Pemba, or Mafia!
