Tarangire’s Iconic Landscape

To the southwest, the Babati mountain range rises in dramatic contrast, while the rolling hills of Tarangire stretch into the distance to the northeast. This diverse landscape creates one of Tanzania’s most unforgettable safari settings.
Western Serengeti – Nyasirori Region
Continue your journey to the western Serengeti, where Legendary Mila Tented Camp sits in the remote Nyasirori region. This area is world-famous for its Great Wildebeest Migration river crossings in JUne and July along the Grumeti and is home to abundant wildlife year-round.
Here you’ll explore:
- Vast grassy floodplains alive with migrating herds
- Acacia-dotted woodlands filled with birdlife
- Sweeping savannahs where lions and cheetahs hunt
- River systems and springs attracting elephants, hippos, and crocodiles
The western Serengeti offers an authentic safari experience with dramatic landscapes, incredible wildlife, and fewer crowds.
