Safari Tours to Serengeti, Kilimanjaro & Ngorongoro Crater

There are few parks in Africa like Serengeti and the neighboring wildlife reserves like Ngorongoro crater. A great way to see large parts of Serengeti is by hot air balloon. Flying over grassland offers a unique perspective and great opportunities to take impressive pictures. For this reason many travel agencies provide tours in Tanzania which include such rides.

Serengeti and Ngorongoro are really large and as result there are necessary few months to explore it in-depth! It are continued over the border in Kenya by Masai Mara, the large territory explaining the huge variety and richness of wildlife in this part of Africa. The dry season is between July and December and this is also the best period of time for going on safari tours in Tanzania. The rainy season is from March to mid June and, even if in these months is raining a lot, everything is much cheaper and the park has less visitors.

Trips to Udzungwa Mountains National Park

Tourists who want more adventure and a safari package with a little spice because don't like to sit into an air-conditioned car and observe passively the wildlife, are advised to take a hiking safari in Udzungwa rainforest. There is the place where true adventure begins! In this park are no lodges, so all packages include just camping accommodation.

Udzungwa mountains are an ecologically sanctuary and have been recently transformed into a national park. Although there live many animal species, it was created to protect primarily the plant species. The rainforest is dotted with fertile glades where fungus, lichen, moss and ferns invading everything! A unique variety of African violet was discovered there, on 30 meter high trees!

Walking and hiking through dense forest on steep slopes isn't easy at all and consequently only tourists in excellent shape are advised to undertake such expeditions! However, on the travel scene are available packages which include more relaxing walks, lasting a day or two. Walking to Ruiper Ranger Post, along Ruiper river, is a nice experience with plenty of buffalo, hippo and birds on the way.

The effort to climb the mountain worths every drop of perspiration because the plateau offers fantastic views of sugar plantations, grassland and mountain forest extending over 100 kilometers in any direction! Majestic sights offers also Sanje River including a spectacular waterfall plunging 170 meters through the forest... Udzungwa Mountain National Park is bordered by Ruaha River to the north and is located not far away to Mikumi National Park and Selous game reserve, consequently there can be taken combined tours to see more of the region's attractions.

The Northern Circuit

Some safari packages to Tanzania include tours in Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater (named officially the Ngorongoro Conservation Area), Tarangire and Lake Manyara. The northern area of Tanzania has become now very popular and as result many people go there every year seeking to enjoy great African vacations. This fact has a negative part too because the parks settled there are in danger to become excessively crowded in the peak season!
