Tanzania
THE LAND OF SAFARIS
Tanzania
The sweeping plains of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater in the north offer the safari of drama and legend. Whilst Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, needs little introduction and looms with brightly snow-capped peaks, making it all the more alluring for any African safari enthusiast, or first-timer.
Safari Experiences
Serengeti National Park
-
Named for the Maasai word siringet, which translates roughly as “the place where the land runs on forever,” Serengeti National Park is among the oldest game reserves in Tanzania. It’s also one of the most iconic safari destinations in Africa. Located in the north of the country, it partly adjoins the Kenyan border and together with the Masai Mara National Reserve provides the backdrop for the annual Great Migration—considered by many to be the planet’s most impressive natural event.
Mt Kilimanjaro
-
Sending its shadow across Tanzania's northern plains, Mt Kilimanjaro beckons visitors with its graceful, forested flanks and stately snow-capped summit. It is Africa's highest peak and the world's highest free-standing volcano. It is also home to the Chagga people, and to a wealth of birds and wildlife. Climbers by the thousands venture here to challenge themselves on its muddy slopes, rocky trails and slippery scree. The rewards: the thrill of standing at the top of Africa; magnificent views of Kilimanjaro's ice fields; and witnessing sunrise illuminating the plains far below.
Ngorongoro Crater
-
Take about 30,000 animals and place them inside the crater of an extinct volcano. Add wetlands, forest, grasslands and some out-of-this-world cliff-top accommodation, and the result is the Ngorongoro Crater. This superb Tanzania safari destination offers excellent game viewing in an unbelievably unique setting. It’s renowned for delivering the easiest and most reliable Big 5 sightings in East Africa, and is provides what is arguably the best safari in Tanzania.
A soul restoring experience.
