Tanzania

Wildlife, beaches, friendly people, fascinating cultures, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Mt Kilimanjaro,
Zanzibar Archipelago – Tanzania has all these and more wrapped up in one adventurous, welcoming
package.
Wonderful Wildlife
More than almost any other destination, Tanzania
is the land of safaris. Wildebeest stampede across
the plains. Hippos jostle for space in muddy water-
ways. Elephants wander along seasonal migration
routes and chimpanzees swing through the treetops.
Throughout the country there are unparalleled op-
portunities to experience this natural wealth: take a
boat safari down the Rufiji River past snoozing croco-
diles in Selous Game Reserve; watch giraffes silhou-
etted against ancient baobab trees in Ruaha National
Park; sit motionless as waterbirds peck in the shal-
lows around Rubondo Island; and hold your breath
while lions pad around your vehicle in Ngorongoro
Crater.
Idyllic Beaches
Tanzania’s Indian Ocean coastline is magical, with
tranquil islands and sleepy coastal villages steeped in
centuries of Swahili culture. Travel back in time to the
days when the East African coast was the seat of sultans
and a linchpin in a far-flung trading network extending
to Persia, India and beyond. Relax on powdery beach-
es backed by palm trees and massive baobabs; take in
magnificent, pastel-hued sunrises; immerse yourself in
languid coastal rhythms; and sit beneath the billowing
sails of a wooden dhow, listening to the creaking of its
rigging and the gentle slap of the sea against its prow.
