Tanzania is a country found in eastern Africa, lying beside the coast of the Indian ocean. Tanzania is a great safari destination with breathtaking wildlife views in prime parks. Which two national parks are UNESCO World Heritage sites? Tanzania’s safari destination has four primary safari circuits: the famous Northern circuit, the second best, the Southern circuit, the western circuit, and the eastern circuit. All courses offer a unique experience to travelers and tourists. According to the book “Northern Circuit,” safari tops all of Tanzania’s Safari destinations, offering some of the World’s distinct safari experiences, consisting of National Parks, conservation areas, private concession areas, and game reserves. Among these are the famous and iconic Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti National Park, and the less well-known parks, Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park. All parks generally exist for a single purpose, to protect the fascinating diversity and bounty of wildlife in them, both the seasonal and resident, mainly the World’s most extraordinary migration of wildebeest and zebras. Even though this part of the World has become consistently busy, considering its reputation, it is adventitious to escape the vast crowds and find a tranquil environment where you can spend your entire holiday without interruption.

We had an amazing experience, even though it was quite tough (especially because of the rainy season). We made it to the top thanks to this wonderful crew. They even shared their rain jacket and waterproof gloves with us. The chef prepared delicious meals, and the waiter took great care of us (including water to wash ourselves, tea, popcorn and hot water in a bottle to keep us warm during the night). Happyson and team spared no efforts and we had a lot of fun together. On the fourth day, right before the gate, we were surprised by seeing so many wild animals and the beautiful waterfall. The two giraffes at just a few meters away was amazing. Would definitely recommend!!Romy H2023-11-28Safari with David from Seko tours David was our guide for our 2 day Tarangire and 1 day Ngorongoro safari. We were with a group of 4 friends and David was the best guide we could wish for. He had a lot of knowledge about the area, the animals, the culture, actually about everything. He could find every amimal we wanted to see including the difficult to spot cheeta, leopard and rhino. He did everything to get us the best spot to view and photograph the animals. When viewing, he told us a lot of intersting facts about the animals and the area they are in. Between the safari days David also was our driver to all locations in between, always on time and always with surprises, like beer or a great warm lunch.
