Game safari adventures in Tanzania offer the best opportunity to enjoy the ambiance of the East African bush. Tanzania, a premier hunting safari destination in Africa, boasts two safari circuits (north circuit and south circuit) with most wildlife lovers choosing to explore the southern circuit.

The northern circuit, on the other hand, covers the endless plains of Serengeti, the world’s largest caldera in Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Mount Kilimanjaro and Mout meru within the Arusha National Park.
