If you're going to Tanzania
to climb Kilimanjaro, you may want to add a few days for a wildlife
safari to your African adventure. And we've even got some specific discount
packages built for you.
It's best to do a multiple-day,
multiple-park safari. Each game park is unique, offering different ecosystems,
animals and birds. See our Game Parks
page for a brief overview of each park.
If you have only one day
to do a safari, we recommend going to Arusha National
Park. This is the closest park to Moshi and Arusha and has a wide
variety of animals. If you have at least 4 days, you definitely need
to get to the Serengeti. This is where you can really see it all. The
circle of life is never more evident than here. A great way to see the
Serengeti is to take a hot air balloon
ride followed by champagne and an English breakfast in the bush.
If you don't have quite that
much time, Ngorongoro Crater is probably the next best option. The small
community of the crater floor is very diverse and will give you a glimpse
of all the Big Five.
