What Makes a Safari in Tanzania Truly Unforgettable? Discover the Magic of Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater

Updated: Aug 21

Tanzania is not just a destination – it’s an experience that touches your soul. If you're dreaming of an authentic African safari, the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater should be at the top of your list. But what makes this region so unique, and why do thousands of travelers call it a once-in-a-lifetime journey?


Why Choose a Safari in Tanzania?

Tanzania is one of the most biodiverse countries in Africa, home to the iconic Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino), as well as the annual Great Wildebeest Migration - one of the planet’s most dramatic wildlife spectacles and a highlight of many Serengeti safari packages and luxury Tanzania tours.

  • Serengeti National Park: Endless golden plains, acacia trees silhouetted against vibrant sunsets, and thrilling game drives where lions and cheetahs roam free making it one of the best safari destinations in Africa.

  • Ngorongoro Crater: A UNESCO World Heritage site – the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera, teeming with life in a lush, self-contained ecosystem and a must-see stop on any Northern Circuit safari in Tanzania.


Best Time to Visit Tanzania for Safari

The dry season from June to October is ideal for wildlife viewing, while December to March is perfect for seeing baby animals in the Serengeti, making this period one of the best times to visit Tanzania for safari holidays. The Great Migration peaks from July to September, with thrilling river crossings and predator action especially in Serengeti National Park.

Pro tip: Travel during shoulder months May or November for fewer crowds and great sightings!
