WildLife Safaris in Tazania
|
Tanzania is home to the largest populations of Wildlife in Africa. The country is a natural splendour of astonishing wildlife. Its landscapes are immensely varied from bush, to plains, lakes, deserts and rocky mountains. It also has some of the highest percentages of land set aside for wildlife viewing and conservation in the world. The country is a mid range to high end wildlife safari destination and other than the iconic Serengeti National Park, the Ngoro Ngoro Crater, the Selous Game Reserve, and the Ruaha National Park, Tanzania also boasts lesser known wildlife destinations that are highly underrated, such as the Katavi National Park, Tarangire National Park, and the Mahale Mountains National Park. |
The wildlife areas to visit are immense; the Serengeti Plains are the famous site of the annual Great Migration of Wildebeest and Zebra and is an expanse of open plains and acacia woodlands. Maswa region changes from a near desert like state during dry season to an almost eden-like garden state after the first rains. Katavi National Park on the west side of the country is a a relatively untouched wilderness paradise. The Ngoro Ngoro Crater, the largest intact caldera in the world, shelters one of the most beautiful wildlife havens on earth. Africa’s largest wildlife sanctuary, the Selous Game Reserve, is a World Heritage Site within its own right, and boasts dramatic landscapes and is home to a great diversity of African wildlife.
Lake Manyara National Park is home to the unusual tree climbing lions, large flocks of Pink Flamingoes, and vast herds of elephants. Malagarasi Game Reserve is one of the most remote wetland wilderness areas in Tanzania and is full of uncharted swamps and grassy floodplains. Lake Natron is home to the largest population of Lesser Flamingoes in the world, and its semi-desert area with flat-topped acacia trees, hills, rocky mountains, and Ol Donyo Lengai, the only active volcano in Tanzania, is one of the least visited and special areas to be discovered.
