Some Off the Beaten Path to Explore in Tanzania

Have you listed Tanzania on top of your vacation list? If yes, then it’s time to try something totally different. Tanzania’s unbeaten paths guide to some awe-inspiring destinations, ideal for seasoned safari-goers or gallant first-timers who wish an eccentric introduction to East Africa.

Tanzania has been well-known as a safari destination for years. Nowadays, names such as the Ngorongoro and Serengeti slips off the tongue as easily as the Amboseli and Masai Mara. The downside is that now everybody else has heard of such destinations, too.

Travelers on a high-season game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater will have to vie with numbers of other transportations huddled around a great sightseeing, whilst migration season in the Serengeti sees the lion’s share of the 100000 travelers who swarm into the park every year. So, let’s talk about some off the beaten path in Tanzania that you can enjoy without any hassle:

Selous – the last grand wilderness

How about a sanctuary the dimension of Switzerland with tourist numbers floating around 6,000 a year – less than 1% of Tanzania’s yearly total? While perimeters of the Selous Reserve are off limits, the massive terrain that’s open to travelers is wildly stunning and, game-wise, extremely worthwhile. Selous is packed with animals such as hippos, buffalos, lions, wild dogs, and not to mention a 10th of the continent's elephants. To have the best game viewing experience you can trip this game reserve between the month of June to September. However, you should ignore the peak rainy periods as many parts of the Selous are swamped and camps are closed.

Enjoy the mountain retreat – Mahale:

The Mahale Mountains National Park is another Tanzania’s off the beaten path that you mustn’t miss a visit. This park is only accessible via boat and safeguards the rainforest-sheltered mountains that stumble down to the rumbling shoreline of Lake Tanganyika.

Home to a number of ape species, Mahale's trademark action is guided chimpanzee hiking.

Loosen up on the lake’s tranquil beaches, go fishing, view birds & butterflies, or hike into the church-like woodland for a face-to-face encounter with chimpanzees, our closest breathing relative.
Secret Savannahs - Katavi and Ruaha National Parks:

Equally remote from the beaten track are Katavi National Park & Ruha, enticing only about 20% of the size of travelers who crowd the Serengeti every year.

Both are huge, undulating savannah parks with sound populaces of the heavyweight species- buffalos, big cats and elephants. The game viewing is superb, the scenery is exceptional and the park hangs on to a truly wild environment. 

The dry months from June to October are ideal for a Ruha safari.  These hot summer months also give great opportunity for bird watching.

Tanzania Safari Tours: The Great Wildebeest Migration

Being the home of Africa’s most famous national parks, the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro and uncountable beautiful natural diversities, Tanzania is a hot spot in every tourist map. Every year a huge pack of foreign visitors come here to enjoy these jaw-dropping Mother Nature scenes through different wildlife viewing safaris. For those who want to take a break from our concrete building filled jungles and spend some time in between amazing views of nature, this country will be an excellent choice for a trip of lifetime. 

However, apart from all scenic views and excellent cultural diversities, Tanzania is famous for one more thing and that is the annual wildebeest migration which takes place in between Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve and counted as one of the most spectacular wildlife events on our planet. During the Great Wildebeest Migration, approximately 1.5 million wildebeest, 400,000 zebra and 200,000 gazelles, which makes a total of over 2 million migrating animals migrates from Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park to Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve in a great herd. 

          

The great migration starts from early December to move into the Ndutu region of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. In Mid February (which is also the calving season for wildebeest) approximately 8,000 wildebeest are born every day for a period of approximately 3 weeks. From April to May, the herd migrates north to the plains of the central Serengeti. The wildebeest migration viewing period in Tanzania is during June and July. The migration continues moving northwards during July and August heading through Grumeti Reserve and Ikorongo through the heart of the Serengeti National Park. In September, the herd reaches the Mara River, which provides the migration with its most serious obstacle. The huge herd of wildebeest migration crossing the crocodile filled Mara River can be very spectacular view for any tourist. By October the wildebeest herd returns to the Serengeti National Park's Lobo area, which follow the rains on the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti in November. 

The great wildebeest migration continues throughout year. It depends on you when you want to visit this country to enjoy this amazing playground of wildlife.  Contact us at Wildebeest Safaris Ltd to book Tanzania migration safari tours and many other safari tour packages at your budget suited price.
