Where to Go in Tanzania

Tanzania's northern circuit — the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara — is the classic first safari. The wild southern and western parks, such as Nyerere, Ruaha and Katavi, reward travellers looking for fewer vehicles, while Kilimanjaro and the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba complete the picture. Explore each destination below to find out what to see and the best time to go.
