Tanzania - Why Game Reserves in South Through the Northern Parks?
Written by Chris Martin
Tourism and travel point of view, the best of Tanzania's natural resources nicely demonstrated and captured the majestic national parks and game reserves in the country. It's no beaches in Zanzibar. Game Parks and Reserves offer unparalleled opportunities to view wildlife in their natural habitat.
Most safari operators, and even safari travelers, game reserves Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti in the north to find the better known parks - safari they offer better facilities and infrastructure. North Park clearly designed to offer the best Tanzania tourist routes, starting from the base city of Arusha.
However, parks and sanctuaries in the south African safari adventure that is not connected in any other wild animals in the African continent feeling.
The main areas of the southern chain of Selous Game Reserve and Mikumi, Ruaha and Udzungwa Mountains National Parks. They are less well known and less visited than the northern parks.
Here are the reasons why you should choose South Tanzania Parks:
The original and authentic Parksr
Most of the parks in the south of Ruaha, was previously unavailable until very recently. They were virtually unchanged and remained unchanged intrusive and sometimes destructive human activities.
Exclusive Safari Parkr
Tanzania's southern parks are less frequently visited than the northern parks. Lots of wildlife and less number of visitors increases the feeling of true African safari adventure.
Safari a variety of activitiesr
Other safari activities such as nature walks, bush walks, river boat trips, etc., that are not easily allowed the northern parks are usually part of the southern safari parks. This creates your safari adventure mixed.
Open-sided safari vehicler
All safaris are conducted open-sided safari vehicle gives you an authentic safari photography and game viewing, feel and freedom.
Intimate Lodging Experiencer
Southern stocks of lodges and camps are much smaller and more intimate. You will rarely find lodges or more than 20 tent camps. This means that your safari experience is more personal, and there is more focus on the details of each safari traveler.
One such hot spot is the northern tip of the Tarangire - the secret of this park is a hidden treasure. Once you get away from the northern end of the tourist park is very small, and one of the best places to see wildlife during the dry season, with the added bonus of the wildlife park to allow parts of the game walks.
There is a private game concessions, such as West Kilimanjaro, where there are several camps and game viewing from the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro back drop. Small camps in remote areas to find the best visited for several days, and fully understand the safari experience.
Easy to organize short safarisr
For a closer Safari Base - Dar es Salaam, it is much easier to organize a shorter safari 1 or 2 nights southern parks. For example, Mikumi is just 4 hours. Road and 1 hour away by air. Selous, Ruaha and Mikumi fly all the sites that allow you to avoid long drives on the road. To the north, sometimes vast distances and road travel can be frustrating.
