The best African places to visit in Tanzania in December
1. Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is one of Africa's most famous safari destinations. In December, you can witness the Great Migration in the southern Serengeti. This is the calving season for wildebeests, and it attracts predators like lions and cheetahs. The lush grasses also make it a great time for game viewing.
2. Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Ngorongoro Crater is a unique safari destination known for its high concentration of wildlife. In December, the crater is green and teeming with animals. It's an excellent place to spot the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros).
3. Tarangire National Park
December is the start of the green season in Tarangire, and it's an ideal time for birdwatching. The park is famous for its large herds of elephants, which are easier to spot when they gather around water sources during this season.
4. Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara is a compact park with diverse wildlife and stunning birdlife. December is a great time to explore the park's forests, wetlands, and the lake itself, which is often covered in pink flamingos.
5. Selous Game Reserve
While the southern circuit of Tanzania, including Selous, experiences its short rains in December, this reserve is less crowded than the northern parks. It's an excellent destination for boat safaris and walking safaris.
6. Ruaha National Park
Like Selous, Ruaha National Park in southern Tanzania experiences some rain in December. It's known for its rugged landscapes, diverse wildlife, and fewer tourists, offering a more exclusive safari experience.
7. Mahale Mountains National Park
If you're interested in tracking chimpanzees, Mahale Mountains National Park on the shores of Lake Tanganyika is a unique destination. The dry season is from June to October, but it's still possible to track chimpanzees in December.
