Tanzania Safari

The Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti presents year-round drama, with the most spectacular moments occurring during key periods. The wildebeest calving season peaks from February to March, providing an incredible display of new life and natural interactions. The migration reaches a dramatic high during the river crossings from May to August, as the herds face the treacherous Mara River with its challenging currents and predators. From August to October, the migration moves into Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve, continuing the epic journey across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem.

On a Tanzania safari, leaving the vehicle is permitted only in designated areas. For safety reasons, exiting the car in the middle of the national park is prohibited. Kilimanjaro Bucketlist Expedition ensures that these guidelines are strictly followed to safeguard both visitors and wildlife, providing a secure and enjoyable safari experience.

Two countries in East Africa offer remarkable safari experiences: Kenya and Tanzania. However, Tanzania often stands out for its less crowded parks and rich wildlife diversity, including unique animal sightings. The extended Great Migration in the Serengeti National Park is a major draw for many travelers. Additionally, Tanzania provides the exciting opportunity to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, with Kilimanjaro Bucketlist Expedition.

In Tanzania, the allure of encountering the ‘Big Five’—lions, leopards, buffaloes, rhinos, and elephants—draws many visitors to its safaris. While rhinos are rare in East Africa, they can be spotted in the Ngorongoro Crater. The other members of the Big Five are more abundant, ensuring thrilling and memorable wildlife sightings throughout your safari adventure.

But Tanzania offers more than just the Big Five. The country is a wildlife haven, home to cheetahs, wildebeests, zebras, and monkeys, adding to the rich tapestry of animal life. For bird enthusiasts, Tanzania is a paradise, boasting 1,156 bird species, including over 800 resident and numerous migratory species. The best time to witness this avian diversity is from December to April. At Kilimanjaro Bucketlist Expedition, our dedicated birders are captivated by Tanzania’s diverse birdlife, ensuring a truly exceptional experience for every nature lover.
