Safari & Tanzania
The Chipkizi Cup is played in Arusha — the safari capital of Tanzania and the gateway to the legendary Northern Circuit. While you're here for the football, some of the greatest wildlife on earth is right on the doorstep.
Where to go
Serengeti National Park
Home of the Great Migration — over a million wildebeest and zebra on the move, and some of Africa's best big-cat viewing.
Ngorongoro Crater
A UNESCO World Heritage Site: a collapsed volcanic caldera packed with wildlife, including the Big Five, on the crater floor.
Mount Kilimanjaro
Africa's highest peak at 5,895 m — a snow-capped, free-standing mountain and a bucket-list trek, visible on clear days.
Tarangire National Park
Famous for its huge elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, especially rewarding in the dry season.
Lake Manyara
Known for tree-climbing lions and flocks of flamingos along the soda lake, an easy day trip from Arusha.
Zanzibar
Indian Ocean beaches and historic Stone Town — a short flight away, a perfect way to unwind after the safari circuit.
Plan your visit
Best time to visit
The dry season (June–October) offers the best game viewing; the migration's river crossings peak around July–September.
Getting here
Fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), roughly an hour from Arusha — the gateway to Tanzania's Northern Circuit.
Plan ahead
Popular parks and lodges book out in peak season. Arrange your safari and park permits before you travel.
