Tanzania Trekking Adventures Mount Meru

To truly immerse yourself in the wonders of Tanzania's safari, such as the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Tarangire National Park, consider a 5-7-day adventure. This will allow you ample time to explore the northern circuit and witness the Big Five and other iconic animals. For those with a thirst for more, there are awe-inspiring safari expeditions that span 20+ days, offering a deeper connection with the wilderness and a chance to discover hidden gems.

If time is of the essence, a swift safari covering Arusha and either Tarangire or Lake Manyara National Park can be completed in 1-2 days. It's a fantastic snapshot of Tanzania's wildlife. And, if you're particularly interested in the Serengeti but find yourself pressed for time, consider the convenience of flying directly there.

Choosing the right time for a safari in Tanzania depends on your preferences. The dry season, spanning June to October and January to March, is ideal for wildlife spotting as animals gather around water sources. You'll enjoy sunny days, but expect crowds, especially during the Great Migration and the birthing seasons of zebras and wildebeests.

On the other hand, the rainy season, from April to May and November to December, offers a lush landscape with fewer visitors and potential discounts at lodges. Transition periods like late March, early June, late October, and November are perfect for a more peaceful experience, balancing good weather with fewer tourists.

The Great Wildebeest Migration is a captivating natural spectacle for wildlife enthusiasts, featuring over a million animals journeying across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Beginning with calving in the southern Serengeti, near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, they traverse the Serengeti towards Kenya's Masai Mara, returning by the end of the year. One of the most thrilling parts of this migration is the Mara River crossing. Here, the migration herds confront the challenging currents and hungry predators lurking in the waters.

Witnessing thousands of these animals navigate the Mara River is a highlight for many travelers, creating memories that last a lifetime.

Cars can be left on Tanzania safaris only in designated areas. Because of safety considerations, cars cannot be left right in the middle of the national park.

Rest assured, Wi-Fi is available in our safari vehicles, ensuring you stay connected even in the heart of the wilderness. However, please note that coverage might be limited in the more remote areas of national parks. You can also expect Wi-Fi in hotels and lodges across Tanzania, although the connection in those locations can sometimes be intermittent. This ensures that you can share your incredible safari experiences with your loved ones, even from the most remote corners of Tanzania.
