Question
I and my BF are going to Africa for the first time, and we are doing Tanzania, We may not be able to go to Tanzania again in our life time, We want to know which tour guarantees us to see the BIG 5 in Tanzania?
Answer ( 1 )
Again, we cannot make any guarantees for a certain tour and no one can do that but you will have a good chance of seeing the Big 5 at any time of year in Tanzania (of course depending on the national parks you visit). Elephant and buffalo can be found in Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Arusha National Parks.
Lion are found in Lake Manyara (very difficult to find), Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Leopard are found in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Black Rhino are found in Serengeti (very, very, very difficult to find here) and Ngorongoro (probably this is your best bet for spotting a black rhino).
NOTE: The combinations of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti will give you 99% chance to see the big five, and if not, may be you will miss the Rhino!
