ARUSHA NATIONAL PARK

Just a short drive from Arusha town—the vibrant heart of northern Tanzania’s safari circuit—Arusha National Park is a hidden gem that offers an incredible variety of landscapes and wildlife experiences in one compact, accessible location. Often overlooked by travelers eager for bigger parks, Arusha surprises visitors with its rich diversity and stunning natural beauty.

HADZABE TRIBE AT LAKE EYASI

The Hadza, or Hadzabe, are an indigenous ethnic group in north-central Tanzania, living around Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Valley. Between 1,200 and 1,300 Hadzabe people living in Tanzania. Still leading the same hunter-gatherer lifestyle that has sustained their people for generations, the Hadzabe make use of locally made poisons and ingenious camouflage to hunt.

LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

Stretching 50 kilometers along the base of the striking rusty-gold Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park is a breathtaking Tanzanian jewel. Famed explorer Ernest Hemingway once called it “the loveliest I had seen in Africa,” and it’s easy to see why. This compact yet diverse park offers an unforgettable safari experience packed into a manageable game-viewing circuit, showcasing the very best of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes.

LAKE NATRON

A soda lake at the base of the active Ol Donyo Lengai volcano, the area around Lake Natron is often described as having a desolate and almost lunar beauty. Lake Natron is found in the northern part of Tanzania. Nearest towns to Lake Natron are Arusha in Tanzania and Magadi in Kenya. It is the most important breeding site for Lesser Flamingos in the world.

NGORONGORO CRATER

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of Tanzania’s most breathtaking natural wonders and arguably the best place in the country to see the iconic Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the rare black rhino. As the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers dramatic landscapes and an unparalleled density of wildlife.

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Welcome to the Serengeti, the crown jewel of African safaris and one of the most legendary wildlife destinations on Earth. Famous for the Great Migration—the awe-inspiring annual journey of over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles—the Serengeti offers a front-row seat to one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles. But to think of the Serengeti only in terms of the migration is to overlook the park’s deeper magic.

TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

Tarangire National Park is one of Tanzania’s best-kept safari secrets, renowned for its raw beauty, dramatic landscapes, and incredible concentration of wildlife—especially during the dry season. As the sun beats down and the earth turns a dusty red, the Tarangire River becomes a vital life source, drawing animals from miles around in search of water. This seasonal gathering creates one of the highest concentrations of wildlife outside the Serengeti.
