Tanzania – Landscapes, Wildlife, and Communities

Tanzania is defined by wide savannahs, volcanic highlands, and some of the most wildlife-rich ecosystems in East Africa. Northern Tanzania in particular is known for iconic landscapes such as Tarangire National Park, the open plains of the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, where diverse habitats exist within a relatively compact region.

Beyond its landscapes, Tanzania is home to long-established communities whose lives remain closely connected to the land. Around Lake Eyasi, the Hadzabe continue a hunter-gatherer way of life, while Maasai pastoralist communities inhabit large parts of northern Tanzania. Across rural areas, everyday life is shaped by ongoing relationships between people, livestock, and wildlife.

This page brings together photographic galleries from different regions of northern Tanzania. Each destination is presented as a standalone photographic location, with a focus on landscape, wildlife, and local life, rather than on a single travel route or journey.
