1. Serengeti national park: Witness the great migration
Here are the top things to do in Tanzania with TAN ASA Safaris:
Serengeti National Park is home to one of the most spectacular wildlife events on earth: the Great Migration. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles travel across the plains in search of fresh pastures, creating a dramatic movement of animals that covers hundreds of miles. This epic journey is a once- in-a-lifetime experience, and at Suricata Safaris, we offer exclusive game drives to witness this incredible spectacle up close.
Aside from the migration, the Serengeti is also home to the “Big Five” – lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos – making it a must-visit for any wildlife enthusiast. Whether you’re a photographer capturing the action or simply a nature lover enjoying the raw beauty of Africa, the Serengeti promises unforgettable memories. The vast, golden plains stretch as far as the eye can see, offering a sense of tranquility and adventure all at once. Our expert guides ensure you get the best vantage points for wildlife sightings and can answer any questions you may have about the park’s unique ecosystems.
The Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” is one of the most extraordinary landscapes on the planet. This vast volcanic caldera, which formed millions of years ago after a massive eruption, has evolved into a self-contained ecosystem teeming with an incredible variety of wildlife. At Suricata Safaris, we take you on a journey into this natural wonder, where you’ll experience the sensation of descending into a lush, wildlife-rich bowl surrounded by steep crater walls.
2. Ngorongoro crater: explore a natural wonder
The crater floor is home to a dense population of animals, including lions, elephants, zebras, and wildebeest, all coexisting within this UNESCO World Heritage site. Perhaps the most special part of Ngorongoro is its population of black rhinos, one of the rarest species in the world. With its vibrant wetlands, dense forests, and open grasslands, the crater offers a rare opportunity to see a variety of wildlife in one place, all within a short distance. Our game drives are designed to give you an in-depth exploration of this remarkable ecosystem, allowing you to enjoy both its scenic beauty and wildlife diversity in a way that few other places can offer. A visit to Ngorongoro is not just about seeing wildlife – it’s about connecting with one of Earth’s most majestic natural treasures.
3. Tarangire National Park: The land of the giants
Tarangire National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is one of the country’s best-kept secrets, offering an unforgettable safari experience away from the crowds. Famous for its enormous elephant herds, Tarangire is often called “The Land of Giants,” and it’s not hard to see why. During the dry season, up to 300 elephants can be spotted in the park at once, creating an awe-inspiring sight. Suricata Safaris takes you through Tarangire’s stunning landscapes, dotted with iconic baobab trees and rolling savannahs, to witness these majestic creatures up close.
In addition to elephants, Tarangire is home to a variety of other wildlife, including wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, and an impressive array of bird species. The park is also a fantastic place for photography, with its unique landscapes and abundant wildlife providing endless opportunities for breathtaking shots. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, a photographer, or simply someone seeking a more tranquil safari experience, Tarangire offers an intimate connection with nature that will leave you in awe.
4. Lake Manyara National Park: A wildlife paradise
Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park is a hidden gem that offers a unique and diverse safari experience. Known for its breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife, the park is famous for its tree- climbing lions, a rare phenomenon that attracts both visitors and researchers alike. TAN ASATOURS AND SAFARIS provides expertly guided tours of this beautiful park, where you’ll have the chance to witness not only the elusive lions but also large herds of elephants, wildebeest, giraffes, and an array of birdlife, including flamingos, pelicans, and over 400 other species.
The park’s diverse ecosystems, from the shores of the alkaline lake to the dense forests and grassy plains, make it one of the best places in Tanzania for birdwatching and photography. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the abundance of wildlife, makes Lake Manyara a perfect destination for those seeking a more relaxed and intimate safari experience. With TANASA, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the park’s hidden corners, enjoying both its natural beauty and its incredible biodiversity. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned safari-goer, Lake Manyara promises a rewarding adventure.
5. Zanzibar: relax in paradise
After an exhilarating safari in the Tanzanian wilderness, there’s no better way to unwind than with a serene retreat to Zanzibar. This tropical paradise, with its pristine beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs, offers the perfect post-safari escape. Suricata Safaris can craft the ultimate beach holiday for you, combining the excitement of a safari with the relaxation of Zanzibar’s idyllic shores.
Zanzibar is not only about beautiful beaches – it’s also rich in history and culture. The island’s Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers fascinating insights into its Swahili, Arab, and European influences, with winding alleyways, historic buildings, and bustling markets. You can also indulge in a variety of water activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, and sailing, or simply relax on the beach, enjoying the gentle breeze and the sounds of the ocean. Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, Zanzibar is the perfect place to round off your Tanzanian safari experience.
6. Mount Kilimanjsaro: Summit Africa’s highest peak
For the adventurous traveler, few experiences compare to the challenge and thrill of summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. Towering at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano and one of the world’s most iconic mountains, attracting trekkers from all over the globe. At TAN ASA, we offer expertly guided treks up Kilimanjaro’s various routes, from the popular Machame Route to the more scenic Lemosho Route, ensuring that your ascent is both safe and unforgettable.
The trek to the summit takes you through a variety of ecosystems, from tropical rainforests to alpine deserts, each offering its own unique beauty and challenges. As you ascend, you’ll experience a gradual shift in climate and vegetation, which makes Kilimanjaro a fascinating place to explore. The feeling of standing at the top of Africa, looking out over a sea of clouds, is indescribable – a sense of accomplishment that stays with you for a lifetime. Whether you’re looking for a challenge, an adrenaline rush, or simply a unique perspective on Africa, climbing Kilimanjaro with TAN ASA will be an experience you’ll never forget.
7. Cultural experiences: Immerse yourself in local traditions
Tanzania is a land of rich cultural heritage, home to over 120 diverse ethnic groups, each with its own unique history, traditions, and way of life. This cultural tapestry, woven from centuries of indigenous customs, vibrant ceremonies, and diverse languages, offers a fascinating glimpse into a world that remains largely untouched by modernity. At TAN ASA, we believe that a truly immersive Tanzanian adventure goes beyond wildlife and landscapes – it’s about connecting with the heart of the country and its people. Our expertly curated cultural excursions give you the opportunity to engage with local communities, experience their ancient customs, and deepen your understanding of Tanzania’s cultural richness.
One of the highlights of our cultural experiences is a visit to the iconic Maasai villages. The Maasai are one of the most well-known tribes in East Africa, renowned for their striking red clothing, intricate beadwork, and deep connection to their cattle. For a more off-the-beaten-path cultural encounter, TAN ASA also offers visits to the Hadzabe people, one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes in the world. Living near Lake Eyasi in Northern Tanzania, the Hadzabe maintain a lifestyle that dates back thousands of years. In addition to these immersive experiences, we offer cultural activities that include visiting local markets, where you can interact with artisans and farmers, and learning about Tanzania’s diverse indigenous crafts, from wood carving to weaving.
8. Hot air ballon safaris: Soar over the serengeti
For an unforgettable perspective on Tanzania’s iconic landscapes, embark on a hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti. As you gently float over the vast plains, you’ll witness wildlife from above, with stunning views of the Serengeti’s endless horizons and the Great Migration. From the serenity of the sky, the chaos of the African wilderness unfolds beneath you — herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move in graceful synchrony, while predators silently stalk their prey in the shadows of the acacia trees. It’s a rare opportunity to see these animals in their natural habitat from a completely unique vantage point. The experience is both tranquil and exhilarating, with the only sounds being the occasional whoosh of the balloon’s burner and the whispers of the wind.
As the sun rises over the savannah, casting golden light across the landscape, you’ll feel like you’re drifting through a dream. The soft, early morning light highlights the contours of the land, creating a tapestry of rich colors and shadows. Whether you’re witnessing the dust clouds of a wildebeest migration or watching a pride of lions lounging near a waterhole, each moment offers a fresh spectacle.
