2024 Skysafari Tanzania

Arusha, nestled in Tanzania's northern region and located at the base of volcanic Mount Meru, captivates visitors with its diverse tapestry of culture and nature. Serving as a gateway to the iconic national parks like Serenget, Ngorongoro, Tarangire as well as the majestic Kilimanjaro, it's a haven for adventurers. The city's vibrant Maasai market showcases local artistry, while landmarks like the Arusha Declaration Monument underscore the city’s historical importance. As the former base for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, Arusha holds significant historical weight. This bustling city harmonizes tradition with modernity, and is usually the first stop for those seeking an authentic Tanzanian experience.

Tarangire National Park is the sixth largest national park in Tanzania. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire river that crosses through the park, being the only source of water for wild animals during dry seasons. During the dry season thousands of animals migrate to the Tarangire National Park from Manyara.
It lies a little distance to the south east of Lake Manyara and covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers(1,100 square miles.) The landscape and vegetation is incredibly diverse with a mix that is not found anywhere else in the northern safari circuit. The hilly landscape is dotted with vast numbers of Baobab trees, dense bush and high grasses.

The Ngorongoro Crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed millions of years ago. Today the ancient unfilled caldera is a wildlife haven boasting a surprising number of ecological areas in a fairly compact space, from swamps to springs and forests to grasslands. All these areas support a tremendous number of wildlife from predators to plains game and there are always fantastic game viewing opportunities. However a word of caution - as beautiful as the area is it can be tremendously busy in terms of vehicles. Still there is something quite spectacular about the crater descent and ascent, worth the visit alone!

The Serengeti National Park is truly the most well known wildlife sanctuary in the world, and with great reason. Boasting an unparalleled concentration of wildlife in an area around 5700 square miles (roughly 14700 km2) with an annual migration of about 1.5 million wildebeest it is truly an iconic safari destination. Not only will the visitor see the largest population of plains game in Africa, but also the predators that follow. Especially the lions, and when they’re not on the hunt they can be found awkwardly lounging in the trees of the Serengeti. It is an effortless safari experience with animals stretched across the vast open plains as far as the eye can see. Magnificent in and out of migration season, a place that will astonish and inspire.
