Safari happens almost everywhere in Tanzania, East Africa’s second-largest country. Few destinations can rival Tanzania’s diversity of wildlife and landscapes, making it a premier choice for safari enthusiasts.
From the classic savannahs of the Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater to Zanzibar’s beaches and coral reefs, a Tanzania safari promises unforgettable experiences.
And that’s before you discover the off-the-beaten-path gems like chimpanzee trekking in the untouched rainforests of Mahale and Rubondo, or crowd-free game viewing among the beautifully wild and unique landscapes of Nyerere (previously Selous) and Ruaha.
Sandy Shores Safaris is here to guide you through Tanzania’s wonders and craft a personalized safari adventure tailored to your interests and budget.
Tanzania is the second largest country in East Africa and one of the continent’s stalwart safari destinations. Tanzania, located on the Indian Ocean coast, is a gateway to some of Africa’s best safari destinations. Bordering Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique, it offers unparalleled access to East Africa’s iconic wildlife and natural beauty.
The annual Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti is a wildlife spectacle unlike any other. Forming the centrepiece of most inaugural Tanzania safari itineraries, the Migration is a mind-blowing display of nature at her most extraordinary.About 2 million wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes navigate the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, facing predators and crossing rivers in search of fresh grazing lands.
Serengeti National Park hosts most of the Migration.
Mobile camps move to stay close to the herds.
June to October is prime time for river crossings, but availability is limited. Book a year in advance for the best accommodations.
Alternatively, witness calving season from December to March for fewer crowds and equally breathtaking views.
NOTE : availability of well-located safari camps between June and October (river crossing season) is limited. If you want front-row seats to the dramatic river crossings, you should book your Tanzania safari at least a year in advance. Or opt to go when the herds give birth and graze their way across the plains, which is just as impressive to see but easier to guarantee – plus the tourist crowds are fewer. Chat with one of our Sandy Shores Safaris to plan your trip to coincide with the movements of the herds.
