Where to go in Tanzania
From the Serengeti’s endless plains to chimpanzee forests and Zanzibar’s beaches — here’s where we can take you, and the best time to go.
Parks, islands & mountains
Most first safaris follow the northern circuit from Arusha. The southern and western parks are wilder and quieter, and Zanzibar is a short flight away for the beach.
Northern circuitTanzania’s most famous park: wide grass plains, big-cat country and the stage for the Great Migration all year round.
Northern circuitA huge volcanic crater about 600 metres deep, with one of the densest concentrations of wildlife in Africa on its floor.
Northern circuitAncient baobab trees and some of the largest elephant herds in Tanzania, gathered along the Tarangire River in the dry season.
Northern circuitA compact park below the Rift Valley wall, with groundwater forest, a soda lake and the famous tree-climbing lions.
Northern circuitA short drive from Arusha: Mount Meru, the Momella lakes and forest where you can walk or canoe as well as drive.
Northern circuitThe southern Serengeti and Ngorongoro area where the herds give birth each year — and where the predators follow.
Southern & western circuitAfrica’s largest protected area, with boat safaris on the Rufiji River and its lakes as well as game drives.
Southern & western circuitA big, remote park with very few visitors, rugged scenery along the Great Ruaha River and large lion prides.
Southern & western circuitOpen plains a few hours’ drive from Dar es Salaam — a good short safari from the coast.
Southern & western circuitOne of Tanzania’s most remote parks, famous for huge herds of buffalo and crowded hippo pools late in the dry season.
Southern & western circuitA small forest park on Lake Tanganyika, where Jane Goodall began her chimpanzee research.
Southern & western circuitForested mountains rising from Lake Tanganyika, home to habituated chimpanzee groups and reachable mainly by air and boat.
Islands & coastWhite-sand beaches, warm Indian Ocean water and spice farms — the classic way to finish a safari.
Islands & coastZanzibar’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of narrow lanes, carved doors, markets and sunset dhows.
Islands & coastZanzibar’s hilly, much quieter neighbour, known for clove farms and some of East Africa’s best diving.
Islands & coastA small, laid-back island in a protected marine park, known for diving and seasonal whale sharks.
MountainsAfrica’s highest mountain at 5,895 metres — a non-technical trek from rainforest to glaciers.
MountainsTanzania’s second-highest peak at 4,566 metres, inside Arusha National Park — a great acclimatisation climb before Kilimanjaro.
MountainsThe Maasai “Mountain of God” above Lake Natron — a steep night climb to the crater of an active volcano.
