Tanzania.
One of the most beautiful countries in Africa to visit and providing home to
more than 100 diff erent ethnic groups, Tanzania also off ers 6,000 square miles
of savannah teeming with wildebeest, gazelles, zebra and their elusive predators.
Their annual search for new pasture and waters, the Great Wildebeest Migration is
the largest remaining unaltered animal migration in the world.
More remote than its neighbour Kenya where there is less tourist accommodation
beds throughout the main game reserves, your opportunity to get off the beaten
track and immerse yourself in daily safari searches is easy. Every day adds a new
layer of education to your African journey.
Game viewing in Tanzania is excellent, with many parks such as the Serengeti
National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Park and Mt Kilimanjaro National Park all
combined to sustain one of the largest animal populations in the world.
If you are an avid adventurer, then climbing Mount Kilimanjaro will be on your
bucket list, proudly standing as Africa’s highest mountain. With several diff erent
routes to reach the summit, this hike is not for the faint hearted. Mt Kilimanjaro will
not only challenge you physically, but also mentally. Often snow capped at certain
times of the year, views from the top are unparalleled.
