Serengeti
This vast plain is witness to one of nature's great spectacles: the Great Migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and other grazing animals seeking fresh grass — followed closely by Africa's largest concentration of lion. Whether you're a first-time Africa visitor or a seasoned safari-goer, the Great Migration is not to be missed.
Lake Manyara
This shallow alkaline lake is best known for the millions of flamingo that call it home. The lake and its surrounding regions also shelter hippo, baboon, impala and a variety of other bird species.
Tarangire
Baobab-dotted Tarangire is one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in all of Africa, with an equally impressive population of wildlife, including elephant, zebra, wildebeest and giraffe - along with lion, which are known to occasionally climb trees for relief from the day's heat.
Ngorongoro Crater
This ancient crater is a sheltered haven for wildlife, harboring nearly all of East Africa's iconic species. In addition to first-rate game viewing, the crater offers close proximity to Olduvai Gorge, the "Cradle of Humanity," where many pre-human fossil remains were discovered.
