CrocodilesĬrocodiles like to bathe in the cool waters of lakes and pools throughout Tanzania, and if you can spot their murky camouflage, they are fascinating to behold. Hippos are some of the best-loved animals in the world, and you’ll consider yourself very lucky when you see them on safari in Tanzania! Spot them lazing around in lakes and watering holes keeping cool, slapping away the flies with their tails. Any large body of water in Tanzania is likely to be inhabited by groups of striking flamingoes – particularly at Lake Natron, Lake Manyara, or the Ngorongoro Crater. When you approach a flock of flamingos, what you will first observe is a blanket of pink flickering over a shimmering surface. CheetahsĬheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world, able to sprint at up to 70 miles per hour! You’ll be in awe if you spot these stunning big cats – whether they’re running past in a blur, or simply soaking up the sun on the plains. Seeing a hundred-strong herd of zebras running across the savanna is almost like an optical illusion, with their stripes standing out in stark contrast to the scrubland. ZebrasĪnother truly unique animal to spot in Tanzania is the zebra. You will be astounded by their height in person – reaching up to 19 feet tall! Catching sight of a group of giraffes grazing on treetop leaves, or galloping around amusingly with their long, gangly legs is an amazing experience. Giraffes are one of those animals that you just can’t see in their true light except on safari in Africa.
The Grant and Thompson gazelles can be spotted almost anywhere in the country, dashing around at up to 100 kilometres per hour to avoid predators! Giraffes Gazelles are among the easiest animals to spot whilst on safari in Tanzania. Going on a safari in Tanzania is an unmissable opportunity to see these endangered creatures in real life. This is lucky because they’re much better seen from a safe distance as they go about their daily lives – whether it’s a lion prowling through the jungle or leopards stalking prey elephants washing themselves or black rhino munching on leaves. Lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and the black rhino make up the “Big Five”, so named because they are the most difficult animals to hunt on foot.
