Tanzania is a huge country, roughly equal to the combined size of California, Nevada, and Arizona. The length of stay will depend on whether visitors are on a fast beach vacation or a safari to check off the must-see wildlife attractions, or whether they desire a more thorough immersion in Tanzania’s richness.
It’s not difficult to plan a Tanzania Day Trip. Despite its enormous size, the list of must-see sites is very modest. If they just have a few days, they will most likely go to Zanzibar for some beach time and watersports, as well as some cultural discovery in Stone Town. Zanzibar is also a popular addition to a seven-day safari.
Tanzania’s main attraction, which draws the majority of visitors, is its huge array of animals. The country’s 32 game reserves cover about 40% of the land and are divided into three regional zones: the extremely popular Northern Circuit, the far less visited Southern Circuit, and the far less visited Western Circuit.
People will want to go on a safari for at least one week. Although each of the game reserves has its special draw, in the northern circuit, where the parks are more or less contiguous to one another, visitors can view pretty much anything they want to see. The Serengeti National Park is known for its spectacular annual migration of two million wildebeest, zebra, and other antelope species. The Ngorongoro Crater has the world’s highest concentration of permanent wildlife, and Tarangire has a massive elephant population. Flamingo flocks abound at Lake Manyara National Park.
