Where to Go in Tanzania

Tanzania Safari Destinations

From the endless Serengeti plains to the flamingo lakes of the Rift Valley, Kilimanjaro’s summit and Zanzibar’s beaches — discover the places we know and love.

Northern Safari Circuit

National Parks & Wild Places

Tanzania’s Northern Circuit is one of the richest wildlife regions on Earth. Most of our safaris combine two to four of these parks — here is what makes each one special.

6–8 hrs drive or 1 hr flight from Arusha

Endless plains, the Great Migration and Africa’s greatest concentration of big cats.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Destination

3–4 hrs drive from Arusha

A collapsed volcano filled with wildlife — one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five in a day.

Northern Tanzania
Destination

About 2 hrs drive from Arusha

Giant baobabs, huge elephant herds and a peaceful, less-crowded safari close to Arusha.

Great Rift Valley
Destination

About 2 hrs drive from Arusha

Groundwater forest, flamingo-lined shores and tree-climbing lions beneath the Rift Valley escarpment.

Remote Rift Valley

5–6 hrs drive from Arusha

Flamingos, waterfalls and the active Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano in one of Tanzania’s wildest landscapes.

Gateway to the North

Mount Meru, Momella lakes and walking safaris — just 30 minutes from Arusha town.

Beyond the Parks
