What you’ll find in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar.

3.85°S, 36.00°E

Tarangire National Park

Elephant country: ancient baobabs, a permanent river and some of the largest elephant herds in northern Tanzania.

Wildlife & sights: Elephant herds, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, lions, leopards and more than 500 bird species.
Best time: The dry season from June to October concentrates animals along the Tarangire River; the green season is quieter and lush.
Guide tip: It is the easiest first park from Arusha, so it works well as an opening day.

Explore Tarangire

2.33°S, 34.83°E

Serengeti National Park

Tanzania's most famous savanna: endless plains, kopjes that lions use as lookouts and the stage for the annual wildebeest and zebra migration.

Wildlife & sights: Lions, leopards, cheetahs, spotted hyenas, elephants, giraffes and vast herds of wildebeest and zebra.
Best time: Year-round. Calving on the southern plains around Ndutu runs roughly January to March, the western corridor is active around May and June, and the north and Mara River are the focus from about July to October.
Guide tip: Where you sleep matters more than how long you stay: camps near the herds save hours of driving.

Explore Serengeti

3.17°S, 35.58°E

Ngorongoro Crater

A collapsed volcano about 19 km across whose floor holds grassland, a soda lake and forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where wildlife is easy to find.

Wildlife & sights: Black rhino (with luck), lions, buffalo, elephants, hippos, flamingos and large bull elephants.
Best time: Year-round. Dry months from June to October give the clearest roads; the green season brings fewer vehicles and newborn animals.
Guide tip: Go down early. The crater is busiest mid-morning and animals are most active at first light.

Explore Ngorongoro

6.16°S, 39.19°E

Zanzibar

An Indian Ocean island of coral beaches and Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage old town of carved doors, spice markets and Swahili history.

Wildlife & sights: Stone Town walking tours, spice farms, dhow cruises, snorkelling and beach time.
Best time: June to October and December to February are drier; the long rains in April and May are the quietest months.
Guide tip: Ocean conditions affect marine trips, so keep one flexible day.
