Tarangire National Park
Tarangire has the second highest concentration of wildlife of any Tanzanian national park and is reportedly the largest concentration of elephants in the world. The evocative baobab-studded landscape has excellent bird watching, with over 550 species in the park, the most breeding species in a habitat anywhere in the world. The rolling savannahs and acacia woodlands offer an inspiring array of wildlife.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Africa’s paramount attractions containing a deep, volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. Hosting the highest density of both lions and overall predators in Africa, the game viewing is unsurpassed. The abundance of wildlife is largely due to the presence of water, both from the permanent springs that sustain the swamp, permanent streams and rivers fed by run off from the crater rim forests.
Serengeti National Park
Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park, also a World Heritage site and a Seven Natural Wonder of the World. Encompassing the Serengeti ecosystem is the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Maswa Game Reserve, the Loliondo, Grumeti and Ikorongo controlled areas and the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. It is the Great Migration for which Serengeti is the most famous.
