The Best of East African Wildlife
July 15 – 28, 2026

Tanzania! The mere mention of the word evokes images of quintessential East Africa with sweeping vistas across vast plains punctuated with incredible wildlife. It is the stuff of dreams and yet the reality often exceeds one’s expectations. From the Elephant-filled Baobab forests of Tarangire to the savannas of the Serengeti, Tanzania is a feast for the senses. EcoQuest Travel is proud to offer an incredible journey to the extraordinary country of Tanzania.

We will begin our safari in Arusha before traveling Tanzania’s northern circuit through some of the best national parks in the world. Lying in the shadow of Kilimanjaro and, equally impressive, Mount Meru, Arusha National Park will be a great place to warm up our binoculars. Black-and-white Colobus Monkeys scamper through the forests and we should see our first Masai Giraffes, Burchell’s Zebra and African Buffalo. From Arusha we will travel south to Tarangire National Park – the place of Elephants. Although Elephants dominate this park is rich in game and good for predators. From Tarangire we will journey west and traverse the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park and its flamingo-fringed lake.

From Manyara we climb the escarpment to the highlands of the Ngorongoro Crater. Ngorongoro is awe inspiring – the view atop the crater rim is breathtaking and makes one feel both insignificant and a part of this ancient landscape at the same time. The crater floor below hosts one of the great mammal assemblages on the planet including some of the last Black Rhinos in East Africa. West of the crater the highlands drop onto the expansive Serengeti Plains. Even on a continent of superlatives the Serengeti stands out. The sheer density and diversity of wildlife is staggering. EcoQuest Travel invites you to join us as we explore the best of East African wildlife.
