4 Off-The-Beaten
Track Safari Locations In Tanzania
Tanzania
is rightly famous for the Serengeti and the Great
Wildebeest Migration and for the Ngorongoro Crater. However, there
are less known safari adventures to be had in Tanzania, which are equally
as rewarding, but with not so many crowds of visitors. The following are
three examples of off-the-beaten path safaris in Tanzania, some of which
are fly-in only for added adventure.
1.
Tanzania and the South Central Region
Head to
the Selous Game Reserve to spot vast numbers of the most iconic big game
wildlife. These include the greatest population of buffalo, lion, elephant
and hippo in Africa. However, Ruaha National Park is also a great spot
to visit and is considered to be Tanzania’s best-kept secret. Fly in to
Ruaha to stay at one of the lovely tented camps or riverside lodges, where
you can enjoy luxury and great hospitality.
The
park is bordered on the Great Ruaha River, where visitors can spot some
of the biggest elephant herds and all the major predators, such as cheetah,
leopard and lion. Also see the packs of wild dogs and spotted hyenas along
the way on an enjoyable
Tanzania safari..
2. Mahale
Mountains National Park
This destination
can only be reached by air or boat and lies on the shores of Lake Tanganyika,
the second largest lake in the world. Here a beautiful rainforest is home
to many chimpanzees. This is the perfect spot to go chimpanzee trekking
to see many chimps and their families
Lying
in the Great Rift Valley, the lake is home to around 500 different fish
species and is a beautiful place to stay, especially in Kigoma, on the
shores of the lake. Here you can visit the Gombe Stream National Park and
the fabulous Mahale
Mountains National Park. Heading through the rainforest, you will see
colorful butterflies, many species of birds, but also a large population
of chimpanzees and other primates.
3.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire
National Park is known for its diverse landscape and for the many ancient
baobab trees that dot the landscape. A river running through the park gives
access to a huge variety of wildlife, including antelopes, buffaloes, giraffes,
leopards and lions, as well as a large concentration of elephant families.
Relax
in an observatory area, gazing at beautiful river views with wildlife taking
the opportunity for a cooling drink, or head out for a game drive to see
more of the park.
4. Lake
Manyara National Park
Head across
the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park, with its stunning
scenery and forests of acacia, mahogany and giant fig trees. Here you can
spot a large number of blue monkeys and baboons, along with elephants,
giraffes, impalas and buffaloes. You will also see the comical faces of
the hippos, enjoying a dip in the lake.
A
unique aspect of Lake Manyara National Park is the famous tree-climbing
lions and a number of birds, including flamingos, the crested eagle and
the ground hornbill. This is one of the best place for safari photography,
to capture the perfect images to take home.
