It is a small park but many want to visit Tanzania safari map it because from its territory you can get the best views of the animals and Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. This mountain is not only the highest in Africa, but also the highest that is alone (and not with other mountains around) in the world.
The landscapes from this park are crazy and that's why it is the second most visited park after the Masai Mara.
Mount Kenya National Park
Mount Kenya is the second highest on the continent after the aforementioned Kilimanjaro. On the safari we passed very close to it and stopped at a viewpoint to take photos. For the next one, a hiking route is pending on its slopes.
WHAT ARE THE BEST PARKS IN TANZANIA TO GO ON SAFARI
Serengeti National Park
In the local language, Serengeti translates as "infinite plain" and as soon as you enter it one can see why. The savannah that is lost on the horizon is an incredible picture.
It was here that we could see Tanzania safari map wildebeest migration in its splendor. We saw it in August, but in the previous months it can be seen better in the Masai Mara.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Like the Serengeti, the Ngorogoro is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But in this case, the cultural wealth is added to its natural wealth because the Oldupai Gorge is in the area, a place of relevance in the investigation of the evolution of the human species.
In the Ngorongoro Conservation Area there are 9 volcanoes, of which only one is active. For the purposes of the safari, the most visited of them is the Ngorongoro crater, which has a very wide mouth and a small lagoon inside. Due to its beauty, it is also known as the Garden of Eden .
To visit, we had to change vehicles, we came in a very large truck and they changed us to small trucks / jeeps. In this area it is possible to see the Big Five, but also the lagoon full of flamingos and other birds, wildebeests, zebras and wild boars.
Lake Manyara
Lake Manyara was formed at least two million years ago and contains large amounts of salt and phosphate. As in most lakes, flamingos are the preferred inhabitants, but also in the surroundings it is possible to see the five great animals.
Those who like to follow Tanzania safari map typical routes, Ernest Hemingway has also passed here, who has said that Lake Manyara is the most beautiful in all of Africa.
Tarangire National Park
One of the reasons why I wanted to visit this park is to meet up close with the baobabs, those big plants that I read in my childhood in The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's book.
Of the Big Five, the animal that one can see the most here is the elephant.
Kilimanjaro National Park
5896 meters above sea level is what Mount Kilimanjaro has high and at its top stand out glaciers and eternal snows. Although by far, the most usual thing is to see it surrounded by clouds.
We traveled from Arusha to Zanzibar by plane and from above we managed to see very little of it because it was very cloudy.
You can go hiking on various paths that have been traced, there are even expeditions to go up to the highest. The latter is not a very cheap activity due to the costs of permits, so you have to find out the different options there are to visit it.
