Overview On Parks & Reserves In Tanzania
How can you choose between the national parks and game reserves that contains a fifth of all the large mammals in Africa? Travel in northern Tanzania takes you from Rubondo Island on Lake Victoria, a water bird and fish breeding sanctuary, through the Serengeti, past Ngorongoro’s vast Crater, and Tarangire to Lake Manyara, all teeming with big game. The annual Great Migration of Wildebeest by the millions traverses much of this corridor, across never ending grassland, fording crocodile infested rivers and falling prey to big cats.
Amongst beautiful soda lakes and volcanic highlands, Mount Meru in Arusha is the place to acclimatize yourself to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest free-standing mountain on earth. Gombe is a smaller, fragile version of Mahale, both remote western havens for wild chimpanzees on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, and a research base for the Jane Goodall Center.
