Get a taste of Tanzania with this whirlwind safari itinerary, visiting three of the country’s best wildlife-watching destinations. Observe tree-climbing lions at Lake Manyara National Park, witness the Great Migration across the Serengeti and explore the incredible natural phenomenon, the UNESCO-protected Ngorongoro Crater. Tick off Africa’s Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), spotting big game on game drives, walking safaris, and even canoe safaris.
The diverse habitat of Lake Manyara National Park is its greatest asset. Its diverse wildlife reflects this as well; among the more prevalent and noticeable large mammal species are the lion, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, zebra, and wildebeest. Well known for having lions that climb trees.
Not only is the Ngorongoro Crater considered one of the world’s marvels due to its remarkable geological features, but it also provides an exceptional natural habitat for a significant portion of Africa’s large mammal population.
