THIS IS THE SOUTH
The southern part of Tanzania is probably one of the best safari gems in Africa. Not marketed in the same way as the famous north, it experiences less tourists which will give you a more authentic and non-touristy safari. The different parks in the southern areas are extremely varied which is optimal for a diverse roundtrip with new and different experiences each day.
Special features /experiences
Rufiji River in Selous Game Reserve, is an ideal location for boat safari. (In 2019 Selous Game Reserve was split in two, creating a new national park with the name Nyerere National Park). The sunsets over the Mkata Plains and savannahs of Mikumi are stunning, and the tropical rainforest of Udzungwa Mountains off ers a spectacular hike to the tallest freestanding waterfall in Tanzania, Sanje Falls. The true hidden safari gem is Ruaha National Park, particularly if you want to see predators. Close to 10 % of all lions in Africa can be found here, and here is your best shot to see the very shy leopard.
Suitable for
This area suits everyone and is probably the best option for family and generation trips with small/ younger children. For those who only have a few days available for safari or want a true African safari road trip without sharing the nature with thousands of other tourists -we always recommend the south!
When to go
June-October is great for game watching, but November-February can also be very nice, especially if you like the green scenery. In late March to May, Mikumi National Park is the
most accessible park in the south, due to heavy rains.

THIS IS THE NORTH
The northern parts of Tanzania is where the whole safari industry kick-started, and this is still the most famous safari area in the world. It is not without reason Arusha, the starting point for safaris in this area, is called the “The Safari Capital of the World”. If you have a safari bucket list, we bet this area is on it with all its fame. The north will definitively not let you down!
Special features /experiences
The legendary Serengeti National Park with endless savannahs, the famous wildebeest migration and the mystical Ngorongoro Crater are must-sees when you are here. There are also less famous safari destinations in this area like Tarangire that inhabits large concentrations of elephants and Lake Manyara with a chance to see treeclimbing lions. And of course, the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, Mount Kilimanjaro and its 5895 masl is a hike on many people’s wish-list.
Suitable for
Those who want to visit the most famous safari destinations and the wildebeest migration, and don´t mind sharing it with a lot of tourists. Also for those who like the physical challenge of Mt. Meru and Mt. Kilimanjaro.
When to go
The north is good all year around. However, if you do want to avoid the tourist hordes, you should stay away from the peak seasons (July & December). The north is the area least exposed to the heavy rain season, so late May and early June can be amazing with fewer tourists and great deals!
