Where to go in Tanzania
Arusha
Arusha is a bustling city in northern Tanzania and the main hub for safaris throughout the northern circuit. It’s also an intriguing destination in its own right.
Katavi National Park
The isolated Katavi National Park is a favourite among safari experts. Its grassland plains, marshland, rugged hills, woodland, lakes and rivers are home to a vast variety of wildlife.
Kilimanjaro Climb
The mighty Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak. As you ascend its slopes you’ll enjoy staggering sights at every turn – but nothing beats the views from its summit.
Lake Manyara
Lake Manyara boasts an abundance of animal species including baboons, blue monkeys, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, leopards and tree-climbing lions, as well as myriad birdlife.
Mahale Mountains
Sitting beside the world’s longest freshwater lake, the Mahale Mountains are the top spot for chimpanzee sightings in Tanzania. You can also see all sorts of birds and aquatic species.
Mwiba Wildlife Reserve
As the southernmost point of the wildebeests’ migration loop, Mwiba Wildlife Reserve is an ideal spot to experience the calving season. With just one permanent camp, privacy is guaranteed.
Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world. It’s one of Tanzania’s best destinations for both Big Five safaris and birdwatching.
North Serengeti
The northern Serengeti borders Kenya’s Maasai Mara. It’s where herds are most concentrated during the Great Migration, and is the site of exciting river crossings from July to September.
Nyerere National Park
Nyerere is home to nearly half of all the elephants in Tanzania. With the mighty Rufiji River flowing through the reserve, crocodiles and hippos are also common sightings.
Ruaha National Park
Ruaha is the largest national park in Tanzania and East Africa. This pristine area has the same wildlife density and diversity as the Kruger, with only around 1% of the visitors.
Serengeti National Park
One of the world’s most famous national parks, the Serengeti is where most of the Great Migration occurs throughout the year, including the wildebeest calving season.
Singita Grumeti
Singita Grumeti is Tanzania’s largest private reserve. It promises incredible exclusivity and unrivalled game viewing experiences, especially during the peak months of June and July.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is home to huge herds of elephants and more than 550 bird species, including the yellow-collared lovebird and the world’s heaviest flying bird: the kori bustard.
Zanzibar
The archipelago of Zanzibar makes for an excellent safari add-on. Its fascinating history is on display in Stone Town, while sandy beaches and turquoise seas invite rest and relaxation.

When to visit Tanzania for honeymoon safaris
The best months for a honeymoon safari in Tanzania are June through October, when dry weather conditions make animals easier to spot.
The Great Migration river crossings attract lots of visitors to the Serengeti from July to September; if you want to see this spectacle, we can suggest quieter areas away from the crowds.
During the green season from November to May you can see gorgeous green scenery and witness the calving season in the Serengeti, though April and May are usually too rainy for safaris.
