National parks in Tanzania

Parks and reserves

The parks and reserves that shape the journey

Serengeti National Park for endless plains and migration seasons; Ngorongoro Conservation Area for the crater floor’s concentrated wildlife; Tarangire for baobabs and dry-season elephants; Lake Manyara for groundwater forest and birdlife; Arusha National Park for soft arrivals; Ruaha and Nyerere (formerly Selous) for quieter southern safari; Katavi and Mahale for true remoteness; plus Kilimanjaro and Meru for mountain days.

We choose areas according to wildlife movement, road or flight logistics, lodge availability and the atmosphere each traveller wants — private conservancies where they add night drives and space, public parks where they earn their place.
