TANZANIA
Tanzania is home to some of Africa’s most famous national parks and is Africa’s visual masterpiece. From astounding wildlife on the plains of the Serengeti, wide open spaces, flawless islands of Zanzibar & Mafia, friendly people, fascinating cultures, Africa’s highest mountain Kilimanjaro, charming ancient towns and geological wonders, Tanzania has all of this and more.
Places to visit...
The Serengeti is renowned for its abundant wildlife, in particular its large numbers of predators – especially lions, leopards, and cheetahs – and of course the quintessential Serengeti landscapes of the acacia-studded savanna. It’s one of the best places to visit if you’re hoping to witness part of the Great Migration, when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest follow the rains between Kenya’s Masai Mara and the Serengeti’s plains.
The Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. Spanning 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq kms in area, it is a breath-taking natural wonder with a huge density of wildlife and is named a World Heritage Site.
Tropical Islands
Tropical islands are another of Tanzania’s appeals. The island of Mafia has a marine park with whale sharks and coral reefs, which make it one of Africa’s premier tourist destinations. Known as the Spice Island, the beautiful Arabic-inspired Zanzibar has a rich culture and history, coupled with idyllic white beaches hailed as some of the world’s best.
