Top Destinations for Your Fly-In Safari Beyond the Serengeti
While the Serengeti National Park is undoubtedly the star, a Tanzania Fly-in Safari allows you to seamlessly connect to other equally captivating destinations:
-
Serengeti National Park: The Serengeti needs no introduction. It’s home to the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeests and zebras cross the plains in search of greener pastures. Along the way, predators like lions and crocodiles follow, providing some of Africa's most thrilling wildlife encounters. You’ll have the chance to see the “Big Five” and other rare species.
-
Ngorongoro Crater: This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a wildlife haven nestled within a collapsed volcano. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the best places to see the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo) in their natural habitat. The views from the rim are extraordinary, and within the crater itself, animals thrive.
-
Tarangire National Park: Famous for its large elephant herds and majestic baobab trees, Tarangire is a hidden gem. Wildlife congregates around the Tarangire River during the dry season, offering great game-viewing opportunities. Lions, giraffes, and zebras can all be spotted here, along with a wide variety of birds.
-
Ruaha National Park: For those seeking a more remote and wild experience, Ruaha delivers. This park is less visited than the others, giving it a raw, untouched feel. It’s home to large herds of elephants and buffalo, along with lions, cheetahs, and leopards. The rugged terrain and fewer tourists make Ruaha perfect for adventurers.
