Arusha National Park is home to an abundance of animals, including the black and white colobus monkey, African elephant, Cape buffalo, hippo, zebra, giraffe, and even the camera-shy wildebeest. It also has spectacular landscapes, Mount Meru, a waterfall, and an expansive open savanna (referred to by many as the small Serengeti) that gives way to a patch of acacia scrubland before finally culminating in a lush rainforest.

Ngorongoro Crater is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and one of Africa's natural wonders. The crater constitutes the largest uninterrupted caldera in the world, where nomadic societies live in harmony with wild animals, and their livestock (cattle, goats, sheep, and donkeys) graze along the wildlife. The crater is home to about 30,000 large mammals all year round, such as buffaloes, lions, elephants, cheetahs, and rhinos, and a wide variety of birds, such as flamingos, eagles, and buzzards. Be ready to see many animals here within a short time!

The name of Tarangire National Park originated from the Tarangire River winding its way through the parkland. The river is the primary water source for wild animals during the dry seasons.

We may have the experience of seeing a lion stalking his prey or leopards watching while relaxing in the trees above.
