Located in the northern tourism circuit of Tanzania, Serengeti National Park is the most visited protected area in Tanzania. The park is most famous for the big cats and the wildebeest migration. Serengeti has one of the highest lion populations plus other major big cats including leopards and cheetahs.
While on game drives here you can see at least 5 prides of lions of up to 10 individuals. The big cats’ experience in Serengeti is unmatched and we highly recommend it for first-timers on Tanzania Tour Adventures.
The wildebeest migration animals numbers of the wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles are high making Discovery Journeys in Serengeti even more fun. The migration itself is incredible but also involves a number of occurrences including the calving period, River Crossings, and fighting for survival from the predators. All these make Tanzania Tour adventures to Serengeti memorable.
To fully explore Serengeti, you can visit the park on a 4-day Serengeti Safari. Our 8-day Serengeti Safari also fully covers all the sectors of Serengeti following the migration.
Lake Eyasi
Lake Eyasi is one of the great Rift Valley lakes located in Northern Tanzania. It is also a famous destination in Northern Tanzania that you must include on your Tanzania Safari. Even though Lake Eyasi is the largest water body in the Arusha region, It is seasonal and shallow and almost dries up in the dry months.
The Hadzabe people and their culture are the key tourist attractions to Lake Eyasi. They are indigenous to the lake and among the few African people who have retained their cultural practices. They are hunter-gatherers and demonstrate their ways of life on a visit to their community. It is usually humbling to meet and interact with these indigenous communities and gives you an insight into their routine.
A visit to Lake Eyasi can be combined with a safari to Serengeti and other Northern Tanzania destinations.
