Welcome to Tanzania an East African country known for its vast wilderness areas. They include the plains of Serengeti National Park, a safari mecca populated by the “big five” game (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), and Kilimanjaro National Park, home to Africa’s highest mountain. Offshore lie the tropical islands of Zanzibar, with Arabic influences, and Mafia, with a marine park home to whale sharks and coral reefs.
Tanzania is so much visited for the Mount Kilimanjaro hike and is on evidence that every day the mount Kilimanjaro receives international tourists from whole over the world. In addition from the Kilimanjaro hike, Tanzania receives tourists interested in the great wildebeest migration that takes place in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area and this photographic experience starts from August to September and they seem to be the best times to see the great migration — and your chances of witnessing a river crossing are generally much higher. Come early October, the rainy season in Tanzania will commence, and the herds will embark on their return journey back to the Serengeti.
Tanzania has got quite high number of game parks, reserves, and marine parks and among them you will experience the extraordinary wildlife, primates and aquatic wildlife species.

The Republic of Tanzania being a big tourist destination you will find that some of the parks are so far from each other and the parks are distributed in different regions as you will find some parks in the northern circuit, southern circuit and then other in the western and Coastal circuit. Therefore, in Tanzania you can easily take the overland safaris and the flying trips with the suitable available domestic charters like Auric charter, Grumenti Air and Coastal Aviation that offers daily scheduled flights to the parks.
The tourism department of the Tanzania government has seriously put much emphasis in promoting tourism in the region and you find that most of the game parks the government has set up various airstrips to ease Tanzania flying safaris direct from Arusha or Dar es Salaam to the parks and with this various safari lodges and camps bit luxury or any other category have provided open safari vehicles to pick and drop the flying tourists from the airstrips and transfer them direct to the lodges and camps.
