Going On Safari, The Dream Of Life Within Your Reach

If your bucket list is going on a safari, you have to know that the Tanzania safari packages are one of the best globally, and these are just some of the reasons. Tanzania is a country located on the east coast of Central Africa. It borders Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi to the south, and the Pacific Ocean east. It has a surface of 947 300 km².

Tanzania forms a plateau with heights close to 1,000 m that extends to the lakes Malawi and Tanganyika. In the eastern part of the Great Rift Valley, we find Lakes Naron, Eyasi, and Manyara. It separates the mountain range from the northeast, with Mount Meru at 4566 m and, above all, by the Kilimanjaro, near the border with Kenya. The natural beauty of Kilimanjaro, which is the highest peak in Africa with 5 891.8 m. The Livingston Mountains, located in the south, dominate Lake Malawi.

In the north of the country, to the west of the great mountains, extends a vast savannah, where the Serengeti National Park is located. Near this park is the Olduvai Gorge, where many of the oldest known hominid artifacts and fossils have been found. Several salt lakes, such as the Natron, are an essential breeding ground for flamingos in this northern area.

Safari is a word in the Swahili language that means journey. Previously the word safari was used to describe big game hunting trips in Africa. It is still the name given to tours to observe and photograph animals in their natural habitat. Safaris are conducted within national parks or other types of nature reserves.

In Africa, there are many ways to observe and photograph animals. The most common safaris are those that are done in all-terrain vehicles (or game drives). There are also water safaris (in boats that cross water bodies in zones of abundant fauna), aerial safaris (in hot air balloons, helicopters, or small planes), and safaris on foot are made in specific areas and are very exciting.

The duration of an off-road vehicle safari can last from half a day to several weeks. You can find Tanzania safari packages of half-day or full-day that usually explore small sections of the natural parks; since they are the most common and include some of the zones with more fauna. One of the advantages, in addition to its relatively low price, is that you can return to your accommodation to rest.

The Tanzanian safari packages of several days or weeks go into the reserves. This allows you to be far away from other vehicles and see more animals in action. They also allow you to enjoy more sunrises and sunsets, which is when the landscapes are painted in beautiful colors, and the fauna is more active. With this option, you must stay within the reserves in a lodge or camping with expert guides in the designated areas, consume the safari operator’s food and pay the parks’ fees per day, which raises the trip prices a lot.

The stress of holding on to the vehicle, the heat, and the patience needed to see animals can be exhausting for some people, so be 100% sure before embarking on a multi-day safari.

On the other hand, air safaris usually last an hour or 45 minutes; boat safaris last half a day, and walking safaris typically last a few hours, as they are exhausting.

The Five Great animals of Africa are the elephant, the lion, the leopard, the rhinoceros, and the buffalo. Although the term initially referred to the five most difficult animals to hunt, it relates to the animals that everyone wants to see during a safari.

An African safari is one of the best experiences that you can have in life. However, many people focus on finding the Big Five; the best thing is to enjoy all the other animals, small and small, admire the landscapes, and enjoy the whole experience together.

Depending on your luck and the time spent, you may see the Big Five. Still, you will also have the chance to see hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, wild boars, and various types of antelopes, among many other animals. Watching them perform and interact is merely outstanding.
