A Dream Destination For Wildlife

Tanzania is renowned for its wildebeest migration, one of nature’s greatest spectacles, when millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles make their way across the Serengeti Plains in search of fresh grazing. The migration takes place between June and October, with the best viewing opportunities in the Serengeti National Park. Another highlight is the wildebeest calving season, which takes place from January to March, with thousands of young wildebeest born each day. The Big Five – lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalos – can also be spotted in Tanzania’s savannah parks, such as the Serengeti, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara National Parks, as well as the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area. The southern parks, Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park, also offer excellent game viewing opportunities.
