Tanzania joins a long list of African countries best known for the boundless natural beauty that they have in store. Its national parks are the best place to start exploring its breathtaking natural wonders, and these three are a good place to start.
Kilimanjaro National Park
Mount Kilimanjaro doesn’t need a special introduction because it’s Africa’s highest mountain. It also happens to be Tanzania’s most popular tourist attraction, alongside the national parks it’s a part of, filled with countless species of wild animals, from elephants and buffalos to leopards.
Tarangire National Park
This national park shares its name with the Tarangire River that runs through it, which is an important source of freshwater for wild animals living here. It’s best known for the massive migration of wildebeest and zebras, and a high density of baobab trees and elephants on its grounds.
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti covers a large area of 5,700 square miles of savanna ground, and a visit to Tanzania is incomplete if you don’t check it out. Just like Tarangire, this park is known for the long-distance migration of wildebeest and zebra, but it’s also home to the largest population of lions on the African continent.
