Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti National Park is arguably the world's greatest national park, where nature hosts the most spectacular shown on earth. Serengeti National Park has nearly 15000km of plains, teeming with animal life that will not disappoint! On this ultimate safari experience, you’d be unlucky not to spot the Big 5 (Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Water Buffalo, Elephant) and there’ll be no shortage of action for you to see. Watch some of the greatest animals to have walked this earth interact in ways that you can't even imagine. Your only regret will be that you'll wish you had stayed longer.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park (nicknamed “Elephants’ Paradise”) hosts herds of Elephant families and is the home of the baobab tree. This park has a permanent water source meaning you can visit all year round while spotting a large diversity of mammals, reptiles and bird life. You’re guaranteed to see many elephants, zebra, buffalo, gazelle, wildebeest, impala, warthog, giraffe and ostrich with a good chance to also spot lion, cheetah, leopard, mongoose and many more.
This park is often our first choice if you have just one day to spend on a safari. The park is located close to where the rest of our activities are situated. It is amazing value for what you get. The scenery is beautiful with huge variation, keeping the safari interesting and exciting, especially when around every turn is the potential to spot an amazing creature.
Ngorongoro Crater National Park
Ngorongoro Crater was voted one of the 7 Natural wonders of the world in 2013. Once you’ve gazed upon the sheer spectacle of the largest intact caldera in the world you can understand why. A crater formed by a volcanic eruption millions of years ago gave life to a wildlife paradise where dense populations of large mammals have entered and never found a reason to leave. Here it’s possible to spot the endangered Black Rhino, only 5000 are left in existence.
Home to flamingos, lions, elephants, leopards, serval, hyenas, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, hippo, ostrich, monkey, baboon, gazelle, crowned crane and antelope, there is a huge diversity of species to view. Not only the animal life but the geography is like no other with the crater rim always giving a wonderful panoramic view encompassing a number of different ecological zones, including acacia woodland, forest, grassland plains, lakes and craggy outcrops.
Lake Manyara National Park
A luscious national park with a diverse and unusual landscape; Lake Manyara is situated on the edge of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, which gives life to the lake itself. The lake is a Salt Lake which is inhabited by flamingos who use it as a breeding ground. Hippos can be viewed in pools surrounding the eastern shores. The park has a beautiful woodland which gives life to a rich diversity of bird and butterfly populations and antelope that you are unlikely to see elsewhere. Forest elephants occupy these areas also, but this park is best known for its tree-climbing lions. Also view Maasai giraffe, wildebeest, water buffalo, warthog, ostrich, mongoose, baboon, vervet monkey, blue monkey and over 350 species of birds. There’s also a chance to visit the hot springs and lake pontoon to get those close-up photo shots of hippos.
