Why Should You Go to Tanzania's Wildlife Safari?
Tanzania mainland is home to the top of Africa’s most iconic national parks and game reserves, offering one of the best wildlife experiences in the world. From Serengeti National Park to the dramatic Ngorongoro Crater, a Tanzania safari brings you up close to the African Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhinoceros) and many other fascinating wildlife species.
One of the magic that Tanzania possesses is witnessing the Great Migration with your naked eyes in Serengeti. This is the annual movement of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and some other ungulates across the Serengeti National Park, it is considered as the largest mammal migration on Earth.

After your adventurous safari in Tanzania mainland, there’s no better place to relax than the stunning beaches of Zanzibar. Zanzibar is located just off the coast of Tanzania, It is known for its powdery white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking sunsets.
