The Serengeti. The Ngorongoro Crater. Tarangire's elephant herds. Zanzibar's turquoise coast. Tanzania is home to some of the world's greatest natural wonders, and Go Kilimanjaro Treks will take you there in style.
Northern Tanzania is one of the world's most biodiverse regions. Our safari routes connect the parks that matter most, each with its own distinct character, wildlife, and magic. Read the full destination guide →
The world's most famous safari destination. Home to the Great Migration, the annual movement of over 1.5 million wildebeest and 500,000 zebras across the endless plains. Year-round Big Five sightings, dramatic predator-prey interactions, and some of Africa's finest game viewing make the Serengeti the crown jewel of any Tanzania safari.

The world's largest intact volcanic caldera, a natural enclosure of 260 km² that supports one of Africa's densest concentrations of wildlife. Lions, elephants, hippos, flamingos, and one of Tanzania's last remaining populations of black rhino all live within its rim. A single day here is among the most wildlife-packed experiences on the planet.

Tanzania's elephant sanctuary. During the dry season, Tarangire sees some of Africa's largest elephant concentrations, with herds of 200-300 animals gathering at the Tarangire River. The park's ancient baobab trees, diverse birdlife (550+ species), and lower tourist numbers make it a favourite for those who want an authentic, uncrowded safari experience.

Famous for its tree-climbing lions and vast flocks of flamingos on the alkaline lake. Lake Manyara packs extraordinary diversity into a compact park: groundwater forest, acacia woodland, open floodplains, and the lake shore. Its proximity to Arusha makes it an ideal first or last stop on a northern circuit safari.

The perfect post-safari or post-summit reward. Zanzibar's white sand beaches and turquoise Indian Ocean waters are legendary. Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers spice tours, historic Arab and Portuguese architecture, and incredible seafood. A 3-5 day Zanzibar extension turns a great trip into an unforgettable one.

Often overlooked but genuinely beautiful. Arusha National Park sits in the shadow of Mount Meru and offers one of Tanzania's only canoe safaris on Momella Lakes. Flamingos, hippos, giraffes, and colobus monkeys in a fraction of the time. Perfect as a day trip before or after Kilimanjaro.
Plan an Arusha Day Trip →Not ready to commit to a full safari? Each of these day trips runs out of Moshi or Arusha and gives you a genuine wildlife or cultural experience in a single day. Great add-ons before or after a Kilimanjaro climb.
Tanzania's elephant capital. During the dry season, hundreds of elephants gather at the Tarangire River, making this one of the most reliable big-game sightings in East Africa. Ancient baobab trees, 550+ bird species, and far fewer crowds than the Serengeti.

A compact park that punches well above its weight. Famous for its tree-climbing lions (a behaviour found almost nowhere else), massive flocks of flamingos on the lake shore, and over 400 bird species. The forested escarpment makes for beautiful, varied driving.

Right on Arusha's doorstep. Giraffes, zebras, buffalo, colobus monkeys, and Mount Meru as your backdrop. The Momella Lakes offer an optional canoe safari (paddling quietly past hippos is something else). The most accessible wildlife day out in northern Tanzania.

One of Nelson's most requested cultural experiences. Visit the Hadzabe, one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes on earth, and join them on a morning hunt. Also meet the Datoga blacksmiths nearby. The lake itself draws flamingos and creates a striking volcanic landscape.

A surreal, otherworldly destination. The caustic red soda lake is the world's primary breeding ground for lesser flamingos, with up to 2.5 million birds nesting here. Ol Doinyo Lengai, an active volcano sacred to the Maasai, looms above the lake and is an iconic sight.
