Tanzania Safari FAQs
Your guide to every question before you set off on the journey of a lifetime.
A minimum of 3 to 4 days is recommended to truly experience the Serengeti. This allows enough time to explore both the central plains and the migration corridors in the north or south, depending on the season.
The Ngorongoro Crater is often called “Africa’s Eden”, a place where wildlife and landscapes exist in perfect harmony. It is the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera, formed millions of years ago when a massive volcano collapsed upon itself. Today, its fertile floor and surrounding highlands cradle an incredible concentration of wildlife, with more than 25,000 animals living within its natural enclosure.
Here, visitors can witness a microcosm of the African wilderness lions stalking the plains, elephants wandering through lush swamps, flamingos painting the soda lakes pink, and the rare black rhino grazing quietly under the crater walls.
Ngorongoro is not just a safari destination; it’s a living natural amphitheater where every moment feels timeless, and every turn reveals the raw beauty of Africa.
Tanzania offers two distinct safari regions, each with its own charm and rhythm.
The Northern Circuit is the country’s most iconic and popular route, featuring world-renowned destinations such as Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire National Park. This circuit offers exceptional wildlife density, year-round game viewing, and the spectacular Great Migration. It’s ideal for first-time visitors seeking the classic African safari experience.
The Southern Circuit, on the other hand, is Tanzania’s best-kept secret — vast, untamed, and wonderfully remote. It includes Ruaha National Park, Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve), and Mikumi National Park. These parks offer fewer visitors, more intimate encounters, and a true sense of wilderness. The Southern Circuit is perfect for travelers who wish to explore off the beaten path, where nature feels raw and uninterrupted.
In short, the North is about iconic safaris and legendary landscapes, while the South is about seclusion, serenity, and the soul of the wild.
