Nestled on the foothills of Mount Meru, this small yet stunning park offers evergreen forests, sparkling rivers, and crystal-clear lakes. Home to an impressive variety of birds and mammals, Arusha National Park is a year-round haven of tranquility and natural splendor.

Named after its main artery, the Tarangire River, which is the dominant feature of the park as it is most vital for the survival of the many species that it hosts. The park is famous for its high density of elephants and centuries old giant baobab trees. You will also encounter numerous classes of other mammals, reptiles, birds and vast grasslands that are part of Tarangire’s ecology.

Found adjacent to the dramatic cliffs of the eastern arm of the Great African Rift Valley, Lake Manyara is a shallow alkaline water reservoir that is formed by a network of underground springs and supports various lifeforms. It accommodates the tree-climbing lions, flamingos, and countless migratory species — a living tapestry of wildlife and water. 

One of the natural wonders of the world and the largest intact volcanic caldera on the planet. At a depth of 600 metres below the surrounding rift valley, this geographical marvel is not only home to the densest population of predators in Africa (including The Big Five - elephants, rhinoceros, lions, leopards & buffaloes), but also a rare place to witness the co-existence of humans (the Maasai warriors) and the diverse wildlife that dwells inside this iconic sanctuary.

From the Maasai word, siringet, which means “endless plains”. Serengeti is a world heritage site that harbours hundreds of thousands of herbivores, wild cats, ravenous predators, poisonous reptiles, colourful Aves and the expansive savannah grasslands. This perfect blend of flora and fauna in the most untamed landscape, together with mother nature’s un-influenced behaviour, forces a natural phenomenon called the Great Wildebeest Migration, whereby the grazing inhabitants of Serengeti undertake a continuous circular journey through the park in search of greener pastures and water, and the meat-eaters tag along to fulfill their own appetites. This makes Serengeti an ultimate arena for the African safaris.

Originating from the Chagga word, Kilima-njaro, translates to the “White Mountain”. The majestic Kilimanjaro stands tall and proud with its snow-capped peak in the north-eastern part of Tanzania, and it is the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Uhuru Peak, at its apex, is also the highest point in Africa. The many trails, changing vegetation and altering climatic zones promises a distinguished trekking expedition, and unforgettable sense of accomplishment.

The second tallest mountain (at 4,566m) in Tanzania. It is located within the Arusha National Park boundaries. A hike up the mountain means you walk through the wilderness and the lush greenery with an armed ranger. You may spot elephants, giraffes, colobus monkeys, baboons, antelopes, hyenas, buffaloes, warthogs and birds along the way. It’s a challenging yet rewarding adventure through pristine wilderness.

The Zanzibar Archipelago, dotted around in the turquoise sea, have some of the most pristine beaches in Africa. Ancient architecture, rich history, cultural diversity, spice farms, giant tortoises, red colobus monkeys, white sandy beaches, warm waters and sounds of the gentle crashing of waves against the shores, are just some of the reasons for enlisting the Spice Islands on your “must visit” places in Tanzania, and the perfect finale to your Tanzanian excursion.
