Tanzania is one of the prime safari destinations and home to the greatest spectacle on earth. Natural World Kenya Safaris provides a front-row seat to all the action. The annual wildebeest migration across Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Masai Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya is the opportunity of a lifetime: millions of animals weave their way across the landscape.
But there’s more to this East African country. The word safari is Swahili for “journey”. A journey to Tanzania brings you to Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa, and unspoiled national parks that the “Big Five” (elephant, lion, leopard, rhinoceros, and buffalo) call home.
When planning a Tanzania safari, it’s crucial to have knowledgeable local guides and a selection of customizable, curated tours as you surround yourself with the majestic beauty, varied landscapes, and robust wildlife. At Natural World Kenya Safaris, a locally owned tour operator, we are perfectly equipped to bring you an unforgettable safari.
Our standard safari vehicle is a 4X4 Land Cruiser Jeep that accommodates six people. It has long-range radios for ease of communication and a pop-up top that makes photography a cinch. Whether you want a budget safari, a mid-priced safari, or an over-the-top luxury experience, Natural World Kenya Safaris can make your vision a reality.
Both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a national park, Serengeti offers one of the best safaris in Tanzania. Witness the epic animal migration, where massive herds of wildebeest and zebra zig-zag across the endless plains and the Mara River in search of fresh water and pasture on an arduous expedition. Tanzania’s oldest and most popular park also provides up-close sightings of lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, gazelle, and the endangered Eastern Black Rhino. Rivers are filled with crocodiles and hippos, while hundreds of species of birds fly overhead. There’s never a dull moment in the Serengeti.
Nicknamed Africa’s “eighth wonder of the world,” the Ngorongoro Conservation Area comprises a 100-square mile volcanic crater and includes incredible wildlife viewing. Located in northern Tanzania, this fertile valley enclosed within the high walls of the crater is home to the “Big Five,” alongside several bird species, including egrets and ostriches. In the Lerai Forest, safari-goers will spot vervet monkeys, waterbucks, and great tusker bull elephants. During the rainy season, Lake Magadi transforms into a magical landscape with flocks of migratory flamingos, a sight that will forever be embedded in your mind.
Tree-climbing lions, millions of pink flamingos, large herds of elephants, and troops of baboons make Lake Manyara National Park a must–visit safari destination. The park may be small in size, but it is mighty in its offerings. Birdwatchers can marvel at pink–backed pelicans, Marabou storks, and gray herons feeding in the middle of the great shallow lake.
Tarangire National Park boasts the second-highest concentration of wildlife of any park in Tanzania. During the peak dry season, visitors will discover large concentrations of elephants around the Tarangire River. In this vibrant reserve, visitors will be captivated by big cats like lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, and giraffes. The towering baobab trees dotting the grassy savannah make the landscape even more otherworldly.
The 650-square-mile Kilimanjaro National Park, located near the Tanzanian region of Moshi, 190 miles south of the equator, includes the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding mountain forest. The 19,340-foot Kili, as it’s called, is Africa’s highest mountain and one of the continent’s most breathtaking sights. Over 65,000 international tourists attempted to climb it in 2019, and those numbers are increasing. The mountain rises from vast farmlands on its lower slopes to lush rainforest to alpine meadows, finally reaching the twin summits of Kibo and Mawenzi.
A variety of wildlife can be seen within the park, from tree hyrax, gray and red duiker, and bushbuck above the timberline to Cape buffalo, leopard, blue monkeys, eastern black and white colobus, and bushbabies in the montane forest, moorland, and grassland. Elephants roam between the Namwai and Tarakia rivers and sometimes can even be spotted at higher elevations.
Though only 58 square miles, Arusha National Park has plenty of eye candy for the safari-goer, including the towering peaks of Mt. Meru, the vivid waters of Momella Lakes, and the forest around Ngurdoto Crater. Just 20 miles southwest of Arusha, the park can easily be seen in a single day.
The park has been renamed several times, from Ngurdoto Crater National Park in 1960 to Mt. Meru National Park in 1967 to its current iteration. It is now named for the Warusha people who once lived in the region, along with the Maasai, for whom many sights within the park are named.
Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge is an upscale, 4-star African-style lodge with an infinity pool and spacious suites with patios featuring panoramic views across the Serengeti’s endless grasslands. The lodge is located near the Grumeti River in the heart of Serengeti National Park.
Set in a remote area amidst acacia woodlands within Serengeti National Park, the Serengeti Sopa Lodge has a range of amenities, including a swimming pool, gym, outdoor dining, and spacious rooms colorfully furnished with local fabrics and art featuring verandas to take in the views.
Perched on the jagged rim of the crater, the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge blends in with the environment with its camouflaged stone-built exterior. This modern 4-star hotel affords stunning valley views and a convenient location for game drives into the thriving ecosystem below.
Located at the highest point on Ngorongoro Crater’s rim, Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge offers guests stunning views across the caldera. The property features traditional circular African houses with conical roofs, a swimming pool, bar, lounge, restaurant, and outdoor dining perfect for savoring the incredible sunsets.

Get a glimpse of the African elephant from the comfort of your room at the Tarangire Sopa Lodge. Situated among the baobab trees and grasslands of Tarangire National Park, this location boasts the highest concentration of elephants in the country. The lodge offers circular guest suites, a swimming pool, and a high-end restaurant.
Tanzania is alive with colorful wildlife herding in dense and unusual parks – we’ll explore two of these dynamic areas on this spirited Tanzania Safari. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is unique in the world of safaris – it’s the largest intact volcanic crater on Earth. We’ll travel down into this dense, self-contained world of active wildlife in our 4 x 4 Jeep.
The Serengeti. Ngorongoro Crater. Oldupai Gorge. The names are exotic, the locations even more so. This Tanzania Safari will bring you into the heart of the country – to immense savannahs heaving with wildebeests and big cats, and an ancient crater filled with Zebras, gazelles, cheetahs, and flamingoes.
<br>
We’ll touch the origins of mankind at Oldupai Gorge, a millions-year-old record of humankind’s earliest inhabitants. And then, when you’ve explored the best of Tanzania from the ground, our safari will take you to the air with a flight over these same magnificent landscapes and a return to Arusha.
These are Tanzania’s finest parks and we give you a choice to begin this Africa safari adventure at either Lake Manyara or Tarangire National Parks. Manyara is a colorful jewel, filled with thousands of pink flamingoes settled on the shores of a cobalt blue lake. Tarangire is known for its elephants, lots of migrating wildlife, and few tourists. Take your pick of the parks.
Serengeti National Park is perhaps the most famous wildlife reserve in the world, with its horizons filled with wildebeests and zebras. The lion population here is the largest of any park in the region, if not all of Africa. But for sheer density of big cats, nothing beats the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera on the planet.
We’ll visit these wild, colorful and memorable parks and all the wildlife that live upon these vital lands on this five-day Natural World Kenya Safaris exploration.
5 DAYS, 4 NIGHTS: NGORONGORO CRATER – NDUTU AREA -LAKE MANYARA PARK
We created this safari to bring you up close to the wonders of Tanzania… wonders like the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, and a wildlife universe unto itself, cut off from the rest of Africa.
The Ndutu Area is the engine of the Great Wildebeest Migration – it’s where the millions of wildebeests and other grazers settle for the calving season, from December through March, giving birth to up to half a million newborns every winter.

dutu pulsates with limitless numbers of wildebeests and zebras as these are the calving fields that ultimately populate the migration. From December through April, the fresh grasses of Ndutu attract millions of herding grazers to give birth to their young, as many as 8,000 a day!
Here the newborns take their first steps, issue their first cries and quickly learn and grow to keep up with the vast herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles. Then, come spring, they move north toward still more fresh grasses in the unending cycles of the Great Migration.

The best time to go gorilla trekking in Uganda is during the dry season (December– February and June - August) when conditions are especially good for trekking to view mountain gorillas. Game drives in the national parks are also fruitful during this time.
Wear neutral colored, lightweight clothing on your Uganda safari. Dress in layers and bring a warm sweater for morning and nighttime game drives. For gorilla trekking, bring a waterproof rain jacket, hiking boots, long socks, hiking pants, bug repellant, and a daypack. A sunhat and gardening gloves are also a good idea; the jungle is dense and thick.
Natural World Kenya Safaris offers Gorilla Trekking Safaris in Uganda with basic accommodations starting at $96 per person, per day, plus the Uganda gorilla trekking permit which costs $700 per person per day (the permits are required, and those fees are non-negotiable.) Costs increase from there.
Natural World Safaris can provide basic, mid-range, and luxury trekking safaris and is eager to work with almost any budget.
Suggested tips range from $10 to $20 per person per day for a private guide and the same amount for your driver if that is a different person than your guide.
If you are on a guided safari or gorilla trek in Uganda, your chances of encountering problems are minimal. However, it is always a good idea to take precautions on your safari, particularly when traveling through urban areas or in regions close to the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The trek to spot gorillas can be strenuous. It could take anywhere from two to eight hours to find and observe the gorillas, depending on the time of year. Be prepared to hike for multiple hours through uneven terrain at high altitude. It is advisable to train before any gorilla trekking trip by walking uphill, or better yet, by taking day hikes.
When it comes to wildlife viewing, there are never any guarantees. There are no fences in the parks in Uganda and the gorillas are free to roam. However, our expert guides and gorilla trackers have years of experience taking guests to see these magnificent creatures. They know their favorite spots to congregate and work closely with park officials each day to provide the best possible chance of seeing gorillas in the wild.
Most mountain gorillas in Uganda live at between 4,900 to 7,500 feet. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to the country’s mountain gorillas, has a high point of 8,550ft.
The best time to go on a gorilla trek in Rwanda is during the dry season (June - September) when conditions are best for trekking to view the country’s highlight: the fascinating mountain gorillas.
Wear neutral colored, lightweight clothing on your Rwanda gorilla trek. Dress in layers and don’t forget a sweater for chilly morning and nighttime game drives. For gorilla trekking, bring a waterproof rain jacket, broken-in hiking boots, long socks, hiking pants, bug repellant, and a daypack. A sun visor and protective gloves – such as gardening gloves - are also useful.
Natural World Kenya Safaris offers Gorilla Trekking Safaris in Rwanda with basic accommodations starting at $720 per person, per day, plus the Rwanda gorilla trekking permit which costs $1,500 per person per day (the permits are required, and those fees are non-negotiable.) Costs increase from there.

Suggested tips for your guide are $25 per person, per day for a private guide and the same amount for your driver if that is a different person than your guide.
Rwanda is one of the safest countries in Africa, particularly if you are on a guided safari or gorilla trek. Your chances of encountering problems are minimal. However, it is always a good idea to take precautions on your safari, particularly when traveling through urban areas. Cross-border travel into the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Burundi is not safe, however, so steer clear of this.
