Information on the northern parks

Serengeti National Parks - the place to see seemingly endless herds of wildebeest and zebras trekking across the plains on their annual migration - followed by the predators, ie, lions, cheetahs, hyenas etc.

Ngorongoro - 'The Cradle of Mankind' - where remains of the earliest humans were discovered at Olduvai Gorge and your wildlife highlight is the Ngorongoro Crater - 610 metres deep, the largest in the world. This is your only chance to see the rhinos and an abundance of other animals all year round.

Lake Manyara National Park - an area of distinctive vegetation zones, with extensive marshland along the Rift Valley wall and Parklands. It is scattered with acacia trees, and it is your only park with rare tree climbing lions.

Tarangire National Park - a comparison to the Serengeti, its wildlife population hosting numerous elephants, with migrating wildebeest, zebras and other antelopes.

Arusha National Park - the beautiful 'Scenic Park' is the closest park from Arusha Town, with the Ngurdoto Crater and a variety of water birds around Momella lakes, as well as many animals - the black and white colobus monkey is a rare attraction. Mt. Meru (4566 metres) is climbed from here, where as in the distance you can see Mt. Kilimanjaro (5895 metres), the highest snowcapped peak in Africa.
