The most beautiful national parks in Tanzania
The most beautiful areas of Tanzania
In Equatorial Africa, you probably won't find more famous national parks and safaris than those found in Tanzania. The mighty Kilimanjaro rises above all. The famous animal migration is then in the Serengeti. The Ngorongoro Crater acts as an entrance to another world. Let's take a look at the most beautiful national parks of Tanzania
Kilimanjaro National Park
National park with the highest mountain of Africa
In the Kilimanjaro National Park you will find three volcanic peaks, Kibo, Mawenzi and Shira. The highest peak of the Kibo Volcano – Uhuru 5,895m asl is the highest peak in Africa. You will find here a number of hiking trails, but do not forget that visit of this national park will cost you around 1000 EUR, so it is not a cheap thing. In addition, you can move here only in an organized way continue reading
Serengeti National Park
The largest and most famous national park in Tanzania
A large area in northern Tanzania, known mainly for one of the world's natural wonders: the Great Migration, in which millions of herds of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles and other animals, accompanied by predators and scavengers, march through the park all year round. continue reading
Ngorongoro
Animal paradise
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is directly adjacent to the Serengeti National Park. The area is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List twice. Since 1979 as a natural heritage and since 2010 also as a cultural heritage, due to the Maasai living here. The most important part of this protected area is the Ngorongoro Crater (more precisely, the caldera), which created a volcano here 2 million years ago. It is the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world and has the largest concentration of African wildlife. continue reading
Lake Manyara National Park
Tanzania's smallest national park
National park with a name derived from Lake Manyara, which makes up about two thirds of its area. The park is less well known and less visited than, for example, the Serengeti or the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and is especially suitable for those who have less time or want to save some money. But it is also suitable as a supplement to larger and more well-known safaris. The main advantage of this park is the fact that it is possible to get to animals much more often than on large open plains. continue reading
Tarangire National Park
Park around the river Tarangire
The safari in Tarangire National Park, along with Lake Manyara National Park, is a bit in the shade of the much better known Serengeti and Ngorongoro, which is perhaps a bit of a shame as it has a lot to offer. In addition to many animals (especially elephants), there are also beautiful baobabs and a giant termite mound. continue reading
