Tanzania hosts The Great Migration 10 months a year

This is one reason why Tanzania is better than Kenya for a safari since you're more likely to witness the Great Migration.

Although the Northern circuit is fabulous, for those who want to get away from the crowds, you must consider the Southern Circuit. 

Southern Tanzania

This includes Tanzania's largest wildlife park, the Selous Game Reserve.

There are herds of buffalo roaming Ruaha National Park.
