National Parks & Destinations
Serengeti National Park
Situated in northern Tanzania, approximately 250–325 km from Arusha, depending on the entrance gate and safari destination, Serengeti National Park is one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife sanctuaries. Covering approximately 14,763 square kilometres, this remarkable wilderness is famous for its endless grasslands, rocky kopjes, river valleys, and the spectacular Great Wildebeest Migration. Serengeti supports an extraordinary variety of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, rhinoceroses, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. It is also one of the best places in Africa to witness dramatic predator-prey interactions. The best time to visit is year round and also it depends on the experience you seek. June to October offers excellent general wildlife viewing and opportunities to witness migration movements, while January to February is particularly rewarding for the wildebeest calving season in the southern Serengeti and other remained months the tours are available.
Ngorongoro Crater
Found within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern Tanzania, approximately 180 km west of Arusha, Ngorongoro Crater is one of the world's largest intact volcanic calderas and among Tanzania's most extraordinary natural attractions. The crater measures approximately 20 km across, covers around 260–300 square kilometres, and reaches a depth of about 600 metres. Its unique ecosystem consists of open grasslands, freshwater springs, swamps, woodland, and Lake Magadi, which attracts flamingos and other waterbirds. The crater floor supports a remarkable concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, spotted hyenas, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, and the endangered black rhinoceros. Ngorongoro Crater welcomes safari visitors throughout the year, offering rewarding wildlife encounters in every season because many resident animals remain within its natural boundaries. Nevertheless, June to October is recommended for drier conditions and easier wildlife spotting, while January to February and the greener months are equally appealing for beautiful scenery, birdlife, and lush landscapes.
Tarangire National Park
Located approximately 120 km southwest of Arusha, in northern Tanzania, Tarangire National Park covers an impressive area of about 2,850 square kilometres. It is particularly famous for its enormous elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and the Tarangire River, which serves as an important water source for wildlife, especially during the dry months. The park is home to elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, different antelope species, and more than 550 recorded bird species. Its diverse landscapes include open savannah, seasonal swamps, acacia woodlands, and riverine forests. Tarangire can be visited throughout the year, although the experience varies with seasonal conditions. June to October is highly recommended because wildlife gathers around the Tarangire River as surrounding water sources become scarce, making animal sightings particularly rewarding. January and February also provide enjoyable game drives, attractive green landscapes, and excellent birdwatching opportunities.
