Kenya and Tanzania Classic Safari

Tanzania Safari Experiences

Tanzania offers an unmatched safari experience, from the endless plains of the Serengeti to the natural wonder of the Ngorongoro Crater. Home to one of the greatest concentrations of wildlife in Africa, a Tanzania safari is where you can witness the Great Migration, see the Big Five in a single day and watch lions on the open savannah.

Follow millions of wildebeest across the Serengeti, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater to look for black rhino, and see giant baobabs and elephant herds in Tarangire. For something wilder, the remote parks of Southern Tanzania, Nyerere and Ruaha, offer boat safaris and bush walks with hardly another vehicle in sight. Then climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, or relax on the pristine beaches of Zanzibar.

☀ When to Go

The dry season, from late June to October, is the best time for wildlife viewing. The Great Migration is usually in the northern Serengeti from July to October, with dramatic Mara River crossings. From December to March, the herds give birth on the southern Serengeti plains.

🏝 Beyond the Safari

Add a Kilimanjaro climb or a few days on Zanzibar’s white-sand beaches and in historic Stone Town. You can also combine your Tanzania safari with Kenya’s Maasai Mara, the other half of the migration ecosystem.
