National Parks

Each of Tanzania’s sixteen national parks offers up a unique experience, meaning that no two days on safari are ever the same.

This variety of landscapes really does let you design a safari experience that is perfect for you. While many prefer the comfort and ease of a classic safari across the Serengeti or through dusty Tarangire, others might prefer to stretch their legs with a guided walking safari or get really adventurous with some climbing Kilimanjaro or canoeing.
