The Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro are among Tanzania’s most iconic national parks, each offering unique and breathtaking experiences. The Serengeti is renowned for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse its vast savannas, creating one of the most spectacular wildlife events on Earth. Tarangire is distinguished by its majestic baobab trees and large herds of elephants, providing a lush and vibrant habitat teeming with diverse wildlife. Ngorongoro, with its stunning crater, offers a unique ecosystem within the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera, home to a dense population of animals, including the Big Five.
