The largest eastern African country, one of the poorest countries in the world, is one of the richest in wildlife thanks to long-term planning.
Three climates zones: tropics on the eastern Indian Ocean shore, the mostly arid highlands, and the mountains. Two rainy seasons are the end of October to the beginning of December (although there is slight shifting due to climate change causing drought) and April to the end of May.
Most travelers do the “Northern circuit,” containing the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Arusha.
What animals will you see? It’s up to what mother nature will send your way. However, in some of the most interesting animals we’ve seen, it was a matter of being alert! If we’d blink at the wrong moment, we would miss a Leopard one meter from our Jeep. So, always look in your surroundings and look up for something moving in the bushes!
