Photos of a Tanzanian Safari: Images from the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Eyasi, Tanzania

Tanzania is Africa's best safari destination. These images show off northern Tanzania's incredible wildlife, scenery and cultures.

While game-watching is done from vehicles inside Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, the tourists can experienced fantastic hiking among the migrating wildlife herds and alongside rural Maasai tribes people in the Angata Kiti area of the Ngorongoro Conservation area. They can also experience amazing cultural interaction with the Hadzabe tribe of hunter-gatherers in the Lake Eyasi area.
