Safari from Dodoma

Dodoma (literally “It has sunk” in Gogo), officially Dodoma Urban District, population 324,347 (2002 census), is the national capital of Tanzania, and the capital of the Dodoma region. In 1973, plans were made to move the capital to Dodoma. Tanzania’s National Assembly moved there in February 1996, but many government offices remain in the previous national capital, Dar es Salaam, which remains the commercial capital.

If you fancy spending your holiday experiencing different cultures, viewing breathtaking scenery and meeting fascinating wildlife such as lions, camels, flamingos and elephants, then head to either the Northern part of Tanzania which includes: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Kilimanjaro, or Southern Part of Tanzania which includes: Selous, and Ruaha National Park.While the northern circuit offers more classic safari options, southern Tanzania is famed for more off-the-beaten-track experiences in a truly wild setting.

The northern circuit offers the most classic Tanzania safaris. Here you will find the Great Migration as literally millions of animals travel thousands of kilometers for water as well as the indigenous Maasai warriors tending their cattle on the plains of the wind-swept Serengeti National Park. It is also home to verdant mountains surrounding the Ngorongoro Crater.

The south of Tanzania, however, offers something completely different. For the intrepid traveler craving a more off-the-beaten-track experiences, the Selous and Ruaha offer untold treasures in the form of game, isolated lodges and luxury safari camps in a truly wild setting.

Southern parks of Tanzania

About 20,226 km² in size, Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in Tanzania. Ruaha’s relative inaccessibility means it gets far fewer tourists than the Selous and less than any comparable park in the Northern circuit. It is rich wildlife and perfect for travelers who want a more off-the-map experience and don’t fancy crowds.

The Selous Game Reserve covers a total area of 50,000 km². It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982 due to its wildlife diversity and undisturbed nature. Epic game drives, game walks, boating and fly camping are the recommended activities here.
