Tanzania Safari – Where to go
Working as the Africa Adventures Specialist for the Jane Goodall Institute I designed and led numerous trips to East Africa. My itineraries focused on Tanzania because they included Tanzania’s smallest park, Gombe, home to Jane Goodall’s infamous wild chimpanzees.

Two of three East African countries (Tanzania and Kenya) are known for the wildebeest migration.
Wildebeest Migration as seen from the air.One of the largest migrations in the world, over two and a half million animals follow the rains in an annual circle through Kenya and Tanzania in search of new grass.
[The migration is not what most people imagine. Read my post about it HERE.]
Still, a Tanzania safari has so much to offer; much of it unique. And I highly recommend it.
Here is my list of what I consider to be the top experiences for any Tanzania safari: Hike to see the wild chimpanzees of Gombe National ParkExplore the vast Serengeti ecosystemWitness one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth (the migration of millions of wildebeest);Journey down into the Ngorongoro Crater (considered one of the world’s natural wonders); andTour Olduvai Gorge—the cradle of mankind and the beginning of Jane Goodall’s journey to GombeDrive amongst large herds of elephants in Tarangire National ParkVisit the Maasai Tribes in their traditional bomasHave lunch (or stay the night) at Gibbs FarmVisit Tanzania’s southern circuit Parks, Selous and Ruhaha, to escape the crowdsHike KilimanjaroShop at the Maasai Market in Arusha
