The annual migration of antelopes and zebras

The annual migration of wildebeest and zebras is a drama of life and death, lurking predators, and lucky escapes. Its the thunder of hooves of 1.2 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras. These ungulates complete their cycle, following the rains and fresh pastures from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara and back again, a never-ending cycle. The wildebeest migration is the largest mammal migration on the planet. Hundreds of thousands of animals travel through the valleys of the Serengeti and Masai Mara, crossing rivers and covering hundreds of kilometers en route to fresh pastures. To witness this magnificent spectacle of nature, many choose tours to Kenya and Tanzania from August to November, when the show reaches its climax. Therefore, programs emphasize longer stays in the Serengeti. For those who want to relax on the ocean coast after a safari, the beaches of Mombasa and Zanzibar are offered.

 

Have you bought a tour to Zanzibar?

We dont sell charter flights, but if youve bought a tour to Zanzibar, we can put together a safari package for you from the island.

There is no safari on the island. For that, you have to go to the mainland.
Advice! Dont go for a cheap safari. By cutting corners on price, youll also get less quality, which could lead to disappointment and regret. A low price can be achieved in two ways:
1. A budget hotel located outside the national park means youll spend the night and eat very poorly, and spend more time driving than on the safari itself.
2. The shorter the safari, the cheaper it is, which means you might not see a wide variety of animals, but isnt that why you go on safari?

Theres a third way to reduce the cost of a safari without sacrificing quality: travel in a group. The lowest price is achieved with a group of six people, just enough room in the safari vehicle to travel comfortably and near the window.

If youre going on a family vacation, be sure to show your kids a safari! Just be careful when choosing a tour based on your childrens ages.

Ngorongoro

Tarangire

Tarangire is a park for those who want to venture a little further off the beaten path to truly untamed wilderness. Boasting large herds of elephant and buffalo, as well as a remarkable concentration of big cats, Tarangire National Park is one of the best national parks in Tanzania. African wild dogs, kudu, oryx, and gerenuk, rarely seen in other parks in the Northern District, can also be found here, along with arguably the best birdlife in Africa. Its vibrant marshes attract over 550 species. During the dry season from August to October, Tarangire hosts the highest concentration of mammals of any known national park in Tanzania.

Manyara

Rich in game and one of Tanzanias small wilderness enclaves, Lake Manyara National Park is a magnificent setting. The park comprises several natural zones. The lakes waters cover two-thirds of the park, while the rest of the Manyara ecosystem consists of high mountain slopes, lush marshes, dense forests, vast grasslands, and hot springs.
A glimpse of the famous tree-climbing Lions of Manyara is considered a special treat. Another highlight of the park is the forest elephants, which can only be seen here. Stop by the lakeshore to admire various bird species, including pink flamingos. Large flocks of baboons and giraffes are always a sight. Among ungulates, wildebeest frolic along the lakeshore, and massive buffalo with impressive horns revel in the oozing mudflats. The elusive leopard and Cape otter may even catch the eye of a lucky few.

South Ring Parks

Ruaha

The park is named after the Ruaha River, which serves as a lifeline for animals during the dry season and forms the core of a much larger wildlife ecosystem covering 150,000 square kilometers. The banks of the Ruaha are a regular hunting ground for lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, and the rare and endangered African wild dog, which hunts water deer, impala, and gazelle.

Mikumi

The golden grasslands of northwestern Mikumi are home to a high concentration of mammals, birds, and reptiles, while impenetrable forests and mountains border the vast Selous National Park in the southeast. Mikumi National Park is the closest national park to Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. As part of the Selous ecosystem, it benefits from the highest density of mammals in the entire protected area. Mikumi also has history: it lies on one of the slave routes used by Henry Morton Stanley in his epic quest to find Livingstone.
Large herds of Nyasa antelope, blue wildebeest, buffalo, graceful impala, zebra, and giraffe roam the parks expanses. Wherever there are large herds, there are always plenty of predators waiting for a meal, including lions, leopards, and rare wild dogs.
