Nighttime Safari
the Exotic African Fauna
TRACK & OBSERVE
Going on a safari is a truly enjoyable experience. From the famous Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard) ) to fascinating bird species and unique insects, there's always something new to discover. Witnessing these animals in their natural habitat is an unforgettable adventure that will surely leave a lasting impression. Let's look at some of the extraordinary wildlife you might encounter during your African getaway.
The Big 5
It's hard not to hear about the Big Five when embarking on an African safari. The African elephant, Cape buffalo, lion, leopard, and rhinoceros are the most highly coveted animals to spot and observe. Interestingly enough, this term was not coined by conservationists or wildlife experts. Instead, early game hunters gave these animals their title because they posed the most challenging and dangerous hunts, making them the ultimate prize.
Despite the negative origins of the Big Five's name, today, they are celebrated for their beauty, importance to the ecosystem and overall magnificence.
The Great Migration
Experience one of the world's most breathtaking natural events, the great migration of wildebeest and zebra herds. Witness the awe-inspiring river crossings where the bravest wildebeest takes the leap, followed by hundreds more. Prepare to be amazed as you observe this phenomenon with your own eyes and ears. Head to TAASA for a perfect vantage point to witness the Northern Serengeti migration towards the Mara River.

Predators
This area is home to many different predatory animals. Year-round residents include the magnificent lions, the fast cheetahs, and the cunning hyenas.

You may even witness the impressive leopards that live here as they move stealthily through the bush in search of their next meal. Experience the excitement of getting up close to these fierce predators.
Plains Game
The Serengeti plains, a vast and legendary expanse of land, are widely recognized as a haven for a myriad of herd animals. Among these are the majestic elephant, the awe-inspiring giraffe, the muscular buffalo, the swift Thomson's gazelle, and the iconic wildebeest. Additionally, the plains are home to the critically endangered rhino, an animal whose existence is vital to the region's delicate ecological balance. The Serengeti is truly a sight to behold, and its inhabitants are a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
Birds

With an astonishing 1,113 species of birds, including 800 resident and 300 migratory species, the country is a true paradise for bird enthusiasts. The lowland forest, acacia bush, and diverse rock formations make for ideal habitats for these feathered creatures, providing abundant food and shelter. From brightly-colored bee-eaters to majestic eagles, Tanzania's bird-watching opportunities are unparalleled.
