Northern Tanzania
49 trips
The northern parks sit within a day of each other by road, which is why most first trips to Tanzania are built here. You fly into JRO, the international airport that serves Arusha, and you can see three or four parks without spending the week driving between them.
Open Northern Tanzania
Southern Tanzania
11 trips
The southern parks are a different trip from a different airport. They are bigger, they see far fewer vehicles, and they offer things the north does not: boat safaris on the Rufiji, and walking safaris. They take longer to reach, so they suit a second visit or a longer first one.
Open Southern Tanzania
Migration safari
9 trips
