Walking safaris are also popular here and you can also enjoy night drives.

Ruaha National Park: Ruaha is remote, large, and full of wildlife -- especially elephants. There are also lions, leopard, lots of kudu and almost every other African mammal you`d like to see. The park is home to the Great Ruaha River and it is sometime dry during dry season (May to December) that you get some spectacular game viewing.

Mikumi National Park: It is easily accessible from Dar es Salaam (a four hours drive) and is therefore the most visited park by local Tanzanians. The National Park borders Selous and shares its abundant wildlife including lions, giraffe, buffalo, eland, African hunting dog and many more.

Udzungwa Mountains National Park is a one and a half hours drive from Mikumi and is famous for its bio-diversity. If you like rare plant life and rainforests with enchanting sanje waterfalls, it`s well worth a trip.

Saadani National Park is a nice mixture of bush and beach. Situated on the Indian Ocean facing the island of Zanzibar, Saadani is accessible from Dar es Salaam by road (4 hours) or scheduled flight.
