Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) is a Parastatal Organization whose mandate is to manage and regulate the use of areas designated as National Parks. The Organization currently manages twenty-two National Parks which form part of larger protected ecosystems set aside to preserve Tanzania’s rich natural heritage.

Driving in the parks is allowed between 6 am and 6 pm only. The speed limit in the parks is 50km/h and 25km/h in the Ngorongoro Crater. Animals always have the right of way. Never feed animals.
