Note: The park is located slightly off the main safari route. This lovely, quiet park in northern Tanzania is most famous for its elephant migration, birding and authentic safari atmosphere. The majority of travelers to the region either miss visiting Tarangire or venture into the park for only a matter of hours, leaving parts of Tarangire virtually untouched.

Note: Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favored haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants.

Note: Serengeti National Park is well known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the "Big Five", named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters. The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa, due to the abundance of prey. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. The African leopard, a reclusive predator, is commonly seen in the Seronera region but is present throughout the park with a population of around 1,000.

Note: The Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Masai Mara Game Reserve across the border in Kenya protect the greatest and most varied collection of terrestrial wildlife on earth. It is one of the last great migratory systems still intact. The Serengeti is the jewel in the crown of Tanzania's protected areas, which altogether make up some 14% of the country's land area, a conservation record that few other countries can match.

About 20km across, 600 meters deep and 300sq km in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder.
