Information That Will Be Helpful For Your Trip to Tanzania

Tanzania is a country in East Africa known for its vast wilderness areas. The country is a safari hotspot and is home to the famous Serengeti National Park, home to the big five African game. Other places worth visiting in Tanzania include Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. If you're a marine freak, you should check out Zanzibar, with its Arabic influences, or Mafia, where you can see whale sharks and visit a marine park.

Mount Kilimanjaro National Park

This park is located near Moshi town, about 300 kilometers from the equator. It was declared a world heritage site in 1987. A visit to Mount Kilimanjaro will reward you with one of the best adventure holidays in Tanzania. It was first established as a game reserve by the German colonial government in the early twentieth century. It was gazetted as a national park in 1973.

The terrain is relatively easy and you'll get some amazing views of Lake Manyara.

Serengeti National Park

Although you can visit Serengeti year-round, the best time to visit is during the dry season, between the months of July and December. During these months, the park is not overrun with tourists and the temperature is pleasant. In addition, the park has fewer mosquitoes than during other seasons.

The park's lands are home to many animal species. It also hosts the Masai Mara, an ethnic group that is indigenous to the area. These people practice ancient traditions and are a highlight of the park's attractions. Another significant attraction is the Olduvai gorge, the site of the oldest human remains discovered in East Africa. This discovery changed the theory about the evolution of man.

Other species include the olive baboon and the red tailed monkey. In addition to the wildlife, the park is home to a thriving population of endangered black rhino. This park is also home to one of the few places in Africa where you can view all five of Africa's famous Big Five in one day.

Momella Lakes

The Momella Lakes is located in the north eastern region of Arusha national park. It is a beautiful sight to behold as you can get close to flamingos and other water birds.

Guided tours in Tanzania

If you want to go on safari in Tanzania, there are several things to consider. First, you must know the seasons. November to May are best for viewing hunting scenes, while March to May are ideal for peak bird migration. Rain is more likely during these months. If you're interested in seeing the best wildlife and bird migration, November to May is the best time to visit Tanzania.

Serengeti

The Serengeti is one of the most spectacular regions of East Africa. Its name means "endless plain", and it is home to a large population of animals. Although the land is unspoiled, there are very few trees. This provides an ideal habitat for the dung beetles.
