Why is a Tanzania Safari so amazing? It’s the opportunity to see some pretty amazing wildlife in its natural environment for many travellers. As a gateway city to the Northern Safari Circuit of Tanzania, Arusha is a perfect place to visit other locations like Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. With careful planning you can have a Tanzania Safari tour that will allow you to get close to some of the most interesting animals in Africa and enjoy Zanzibar island and its landscapes.

The following 10 animals can be seen in Tanzania.

1. African Lion

Lions are the most famous animal in Tanzania.

• A common sight at the Serengeti.
• It is also found in the Ngorongoro region.
• Watch for their states of rest, walking, and activity at cooler times of the day.

2. African Elephant

• Elephants are the species that can never be  forgotten .
• The elephants are the most memorable species of all because of their size, intelligence and family life.
• Elephants are certainly a common sight in Tarangire.

3. Leopard

Leopards may not be as easy to see as other species and are therefore exciting each time they are spotted.

•  Check closely for insects around trees and rocks.
•  They will tend to be perched on branches.
•  They can be seen at one of the places such as Serengeti.

     4. African Buffalo

Buffalos are animals that are robust and gregarious. A herd is often large.

•  They live in a number of Northern Circuit locations.
•  Open grasslands are where herds can be spotted grazing.
•  They are a big part of the safari experience owing to their imposing nature.

5. Black Rhinoceros

The sight of a black rhino is a rare and special sight.

•  Ngorongoro is a place that’s critical for rhino sightings.
•  Much fewer in number than other large mammals.
• This is likely to be one of the most exciting sights of the trip.

6. Cheetah

Cheetahs are the swiftest, and are best suited to the Tanzanian savannas.

• You can have glimpses of these elegant predators in Serengeti.
• They’re fun to watch while they are out hunting.
• They are most adapted to open areas.

7. Giraffe

No-one in sight can ignore the tall, swan-like, male or female giraffe as it appears in the shoot behind the safari vehicle.

•  Feeds on leaves of trees and shrubs.
•  They are observed in various Parks of Tanzania.
•  They are a popular subject for nature photographers due to their unique look.

8. Wildebeest

Wildebeest are very much tied to the “Great Migration”.

•  The Serengeti is home to large herds.
•  They are affected by fresh grazing and rain.
•  On the plains, the herds are just amazing.

9. Zebra

The wildebeest and other grazers will all descend on the same grazing grounds.

• The other important mark to see is the colourful Stripe.
•  They are commonly seen in the Serengeti.
•  The movements within their groups make them even more of a thrill to watch on a game drive.

10. Hippopotamus

The experience of wildlife on a hippo is completely different.

•  They are active during much of the day in the water.
•  They are frequently seen in appropriate rivers and water bodies.
•  Their behaviour and enormous size make them fascinating to watch.
