What to see on safari in Tanzania
Many people come to witness the Great Migration, which takes place virtually year round in Tanzania. The spectacle of over a million wildebeest, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of gazelles, zebra and eland heading to Kenya’s Masai Mara in search of green pastures begins in the southern Serengeti in December. It’s at its most red in tooth and claw from July to October, when the exhausted wildebeest plunge across the Mara and Grumeti Rivers in the north, dodging waiting crocs and the lions and hyenas that cruise the banks.Where to go on safari in Tanzania
For anyone on a modest budget – in terms of time or cash – northern Tanzania is a good bet. It’s a one-stop-shop for safari experiences, boasting the Great Wildebeest Migration, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and classic Maasai culture. It’s brilliant for first time safari goers as it’s easy to get around, with most of the key attractions conveniently close to one another. The road network in northern Tanzania is less extensive than in Kenya, but main roads are as good as Kenyan roads, better in some cases. This means you can travel overland, rather than using expensive domestic flights, and pack a great deal into even just a week. It’s also convenient if you’re heading to Mount Kilimanjaro – or on into Kenya. There’s a great range of accommodation, too, including accessible campsites and lodges that won’t have you apologising to your bank manager on your return.All of the above means northern Tanzania is popular, so during the peak months of July and August and in places like the Ngorongoro Crater, you won’t have it to yourself. If you want to be alone with the lions and leopards, head to the little visited south, where huge Selous Game Reserve – the size of Switzerland – and Ruaha National Park are hopping with wildlife, but receive very few visitors. There’s a reason, of course. Reaching these off-the-beaten-track locations demands a pricey domestic flight or a very long drive, which keeps time-pressed and budget travellers away. Accommodation tends to be at the exclusive, luxury end of the safari spectrum, too. Elegant tented lodges boasting swimming pools, spas and deluxe bathrooms tend to be the norm, rather than simple campsites.

How to go on safari
Game drives in specially designed safari vehicles are the standard method for seeing wildlife in Tanzania, but by no means the only option. Mountain bike safaris are an unusual way to get closer to the landscape and access off-road regions, and often combine traditional game drives, so you can see the Big Five without becoming a Lycra-clad amuse bouche for a peckish predator. Guided walking safaris are also possible, following elephant trails to secret glades in the Silela Forest, trekking the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater or exploring remote Ruaha. In Selous, boating safaris on the Rufiji River and Lake Tagalala, accompanied by an expert wildlife guide, bring a watery perspective and the chance to see crocs, hippos and wonderful birdlife.Organised small group holidays or tailor made packages are the best way to take a safari in Tanzania, and some holidays include time in Zanzibar or the Mafia Archipelago to chill out. For self-drive safaris, head to South Africa or Namibia.
