Tanzania Destinations

Amazing wildlife, accessible family-friendly safaris, remote jungle treks, white sand beaches, and snowcapped mountain peaks. Tanzania is an East African country known for its vast wilderness areas. Almost 30% of its surface has been declared National Park. The various areas include the plains of the famous Serengeti National Park, a safari mecca populated by the “big five” game (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino). Tanzania is also home to the Great Migration, when 1.5 million wildebeest leave the dry lands, following the rains in search of green pastures in Maasai Mara in Kenya. This is one of the greatest natural events on the planet as you can witness predators following the herds in a truly breathtaking spectacle.

In the north, the Serengeti plays host to the world’s greatest wildlife event as hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra migrate endlessly across the African plains, running the gauntlet of lions, hyenas, and other predators. Witness the migration by 4×4, take a balloon or horse riding safari across the wide-open plains, or trek across the Ngorongoro Highlands.

The exotic beaches and coral reefs of Zanzibar, and lesser-known islands such as Mafia and Pemba, offer sun, surf, and the taste of a unique culture. While snowcapped Mount Kilimanjaro offers the fit and adventurous a chance to touch the roof of Africa.
