What Should Be On Your Bucket List Of Things To Do While On A Tanzania Safari Adventure?

There’s few places on planet where you can come eye to eye with the greatest animals that walk our planet… one of this places, perhaps the best one is Tanzania. The country is blessed with some of the most beautiful landscapes on earth, the perfect beach of Zanzibar, the iconic Kilimanjaro and of course the wild savannas of Africa. Having traveled with one of the leading Tanzania safari companies here is my guide on what should you be doing on your next Tanzania safari.

Don’t miss the Big 5:

If you’re traveling all the way to Tanzania for the first ever time then there is no doubt that one of the thing you’ll wish to do is witness the Big 5 — the 5 creatures that are believed to be the toughest to hunt on foot. This exceedingly coveted group encompasses the leopard, African elephant, café buffalo, lion and the every so subtle rhino.

See a kneeling warthog:

Well, warthogs are the easiest to discover while on a Tanzania safari, but I only witnessed one that was kneeling on its front legs. This posture is used for eating grasses on the low ground, because their legs are long and necks are short. They’ve adapted wonderfully by creating calloused kneepads.

Get aerial on a hot air balloon:

Just imagine how interesting it’d be to witness the vastness of Serengeti National Park from a hot air balloon! Well, Serengeti Balloon safari will have you floating high in the sky where you can see wildlife form an absolutely different perspective.

Go birdwatching:

The best experience for me during my Tanzania safari was the amazing host of birds that can be witnessed almost any time of the year. With more than one thousand species, some of them you may be able to see are the Malachite Kingfisher, Grey Crowned Crane, Nubian Woodpecker and Red-and-Yellow Barbet. I hardly have any idea why people love bird watching until touring to Tanzania.

See a hippo pool:

You will possibly stumble upon a hippopotamus or two on your safari game drive, but what is more unique is to see a group of active hippos sloshing about in the water. At the Hippo Pool in Central Serengeti it’s possible to encounter up to a remarkable 200 hippos at a time.

Stare Into The Eyes Of A Long Tusked Elephant:

African elephants can be seen in plenty on a Tanzania safari, but I only saw the long Tusked version in Gnorongoro crater. Their tusks grow longer than its normal siblings because of the calcium found in the grass in that region.
