Tanzania: the very name evokes Africa at her most pristine.

Terrific Tanzania

With so many parks and itineraries to choose from, safaris to Tanzania are often divided into regional circuits, or groups of game parks whose geographical proximity and topographical variations make up a varied and diverse group. Some of the circuits are of course more travelled than in others.

Tanzania’s northern circuit alone easily attracts most tourists. But the northern circuit’s fame and popularity means that other equally stunning, but less well-known locations remain little-visited attractions whose beauty is known to only a few.

The southern circuit contains the Selous Game Reserve – Africa’s largest game reserve, which is larger than Denmark! Although the northern circuit is the most famous, venturing off the familiar path inevitably rewards visitors with phenomenal scenery and wildlife experiences.

SERENGETI

Serengeti is easily Tanzania’s most famous national park, and it’s also the largest, at 14,763 square kilometres of protected area that borders Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Park. Its far reaching plains of endless grass, tinged with twisted shadows of acacia trees, have made it the quintessential image of a wild and untarnished Africa.

Its large stone hills are home to rich ecosystems, and the sheer magnitude and scale of life that the plains support is staggering. Large prides of lions laze effortlessly in the long grasses, plentiful families of elephants feed on acacia bark and trumpet to each other across the plains, and giraffes, gazelles, monkeys, eland, in fact a whole range of African wildlife can be seen in awe-inspiring numbers.
