Safari
Circuits
Tanzania. With so many parks and itineraries to choose from, safaris to Tanzania
are often divided into regional circuits, or groups of game parks whose geographical
proximity and topographical variations make up a varied and diverse group. Some
of the circuits are of course more travelled than others.
Tanzania’s
northern circuit alone easily attracts the majority of tourists. But the northern
circuit’s fame and popularity means that other equally stunning but less well-known
locations remain little-visited attractions whose beauty is known to only a select
few. The southern circuit contains the Selous Game Reserve - Africa's largest
game reserve which is bigger than Denmark! Although the northern circuit is the
most famous, venturing off the familiar path inevitably rewards visitors with
the phenomenal scenery and wildlife experiences. What follows is a brief write-up
of the main attractions of each region in Tanzania, divided into circuits accordingly.
Although
the western and eastern circuits are not developed as full itineraries per se,
there is much in each region that warrants a discerning visitor’s attention. Of
course, none of these circuits are a complete itinerary in itself, nor is it set
in stone. Rather, they are regional suggestions for travellers wishing to explore
a certain part of the country, or for return visitors to travel someplace new.
Most safari operators will encourage you to select regions and areas to incorporate
into your safari from a few or all of the circuits. Longer descriptions of each
of the locations can be found in the ‘National Parks and Reserves’ section below.
