The tourism sector appears to contribute a significant amount to the development of our National Income. There is a need to design packages that will attract domestic tourists who should be enabled to enjoy the natural beauty of their country. There is also a need to improve access and develop strategies for Tanzanians to participate in the sector and provide services for tourists. The most attractive natural resources are those that are untouched. So,the main activities/task can be conducted / done during my safari in Tanzania inorder to attract tourists is game parks, forests, beaches and lakes.
The Tanzania safari Northern Circuit, comprises Tanzania’s best known National Parks described below, is served by airports in Kilimanjaro and Arusha. Northern circuit Wildlife Areas are becoming more crowded, most respondents stated that wildlife is not yet outnumbered by tourists, nor does it shy away as in competing destinations, where there is excess hunting in areas contiguous to the National Parks.
Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Parks and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area are world class assets, that are featured by tour operators. Most visitors to game parks are likely to visit Kenya first, largely because it is cheaper and more accessible. Tourists in Tanzania safari wishing to expand their game-viewing experiences, after the “mass-tourism” that Kenya has encouraged and first-time higher income tourists constitute in Tanzania’s.
In Tanzania safari,the Ngorongoro Crater and the wildlife migration in the Serengeti, both of which are World Heritage Sites, were considered to be “most unique wildlife viewing experiences”. Respondents stated that Tanzania could command a premium price for its wildlife viewing but only if the quality of the tourism infrastructure and accommodation and services were improved.
The government that control Tanzania safari, has also encouraged the development of a Southern Circuit, which currently mainly comprises the Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park.These areas are world class and described as “the wild and isolated beauty of southern Tanzania.
Gombe Stream, famous for the chimpanzees, provides another type of wildlife viewing ,that is included in fewer packages. Because of its difficult access and the need to restrict visitors to protect the animals’ habitat and way of life, this again is viewed as “exclusive” tourism.
Zanzibar is featured as single destination attractions and frequently as an add-on to the wildlife safaris. Zanzibar is among of Tanzania safari, that contains many of the world’s most exclusive luxury resorts and hotels, located near the beaches.
Pemba and Mafia are pristine islands promoted mainly for their coral reefs and for big game fishing.

There is no estimate of the numbers involved.
This is mainly for bird’s lovers or birds watchers. This is mixed in with photographic Tanzania safaris to the Northern or Southern circuits, where wildlife viewing is the main objective. Some tour operators and guides are specialized in birding and they are trained to seek out bird habitats and so cater to tourists.
There are several areas outside the current wildlife viewing circuits that could attract birders for example the area from Tanga north to Moshi has great potential viewing. Mkomazi National Park also are Tanzania safari that contains 90% of all botanic species found in Tanzania, with one-third of plants classified as endemic.

Hunting is strictly controlled in Tanzania Under the Wildlife Conservation Act of 1974 and The Wildlife Conservation (Tourist Hunting)-Regulations, 2000. Tanzania offers expansive natural areas for hunting, rather than privately-owned smaller game reserves.
The length of stay varies according to the number of animals in Tanzania safari, the hunter wishes to hunt and ranges from 7 to 14 to 16 to 21 days. The size of each group is normally 1 or 2 people, with one professional hunter per group. Hunting may also bring in more revenues per person, compared to other segments of tourism, through a combination of the hunting block fees, hunting permits, and a slew of licenses payable by the hunting organization (which is comparable to those payable by Tour operators).
Hunting Tanzania safari, is common at Lake Eyasi which is situated in the southwest of Ngorongoro conservation area. Hadzabe and Tindiga tribes are living at Lake Eyasi. These tribe are hunters and gatherers community.so for hunting safari clients need to join these communities and learn experience from them.
