Tanzania is home to some of Africa’s most iconic national parks, including Serengeti National Park , Ngorongoro Crater , Tarangire National Park , Lake Manyara National Park , and Ruaha National Park . Together, these ecosystems host one of the highest concentrations of wildlife on the continent.
Let’s explore the incredible animals you’ll encounter on your Tanzania safari.
Originally named by hunters as the most difficult animals to hunt on foot, the Big Five are now the most sought-after wildlife sightings on safari.
Tanzania has one of the largest lion populations in Africa. The endless plains of the Serengeti are famous for dramatic lion sightings prides resting under acacia trees or stalking prey during the Great Migration.
Massive herds of elephants roam freely across Tanzania. In Tarangire, you can see some of the largest elephant gatherings in East Africa, especially during the dry season.
Leopards are elusive but regularly spotted draped across tree branches in the Serengeti. Lake Manyara is also known for its famous tree-climbing lions and frequent leopard sightings.
