Tanzania Western Circuit

If you plan on completely escaping the tourist crowds and the wildlife offering that Tanzania is known for and find something truly out of the box, you can do that in Tanzania’s Western Circuit Safari. Comprising of some lesser known national parks like Gombe Stream National Park, Mahale National Park, and Katavi National Park, Western Circuit Safaris promise extraordinarily different wildlife experience in dense forest ranges.

Both Gombe and Mahale are prominent safari destinations in western circuit and even in entire Tanzania. This is because of the endangered chimpanzees that inhabit both of these parks. Gombe Stream especially is well known among the tourist fraternity for housing some of these rare species. With an area of just 35 sq km, it was first designated as a game reserve, but later got upgraded into a national park in 1968 with the sole focus on conservation of chimpanzees. This is the place where renowned conservationist Jane Goodall conducted her groundbreaking research on chimps. Near to the Gombe Stream, lies Mahale Mountains National Park which is also known for conserving chimpanzees. It is one of the scenically beautiful parks with picturesque lush green environment all year around. Chimpanzee trekking safaris are most popular in this circuit.

Probably the remotest park is the Katavi National Park located in Katavi Region, it is also the third largest national park in Tanzania. Rubondo National Park is another off the beaten track and unique destination which is a collection of smaller islands in Lake Victoria.

Western Circuit Safari is definitely worth a shot despite being remote and relative hard to reach to. Find the best Western Circuit Safari Packages with Silver Sky Travel and get the real Tanzanian wildlife.
