Reasons to visit

The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
Tanzania is home to two of the most iconic safari destinations in Africa, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The vast plains of the Serengeti are also home to the annual migration where massive herds of wildebeest, gazelles and zebra follow the rains to greener and tastier pastures.

The Ngorongoro Crater
The world’s largest inactive and unfilled volcanic caldera, is home to a huge variety of wildlife.

Mount Kilimanjaro
Walk up the continent’s highest mountain and conquer Mount Kilimanjaro. The view from the top is spectacular and the sense of achievement you’ll feel is unparalleled. But make no mistake, you are testing yourself against all that nature can throw at you.

Zanzibar
The island of Zanzibar conjures images of perfect, palm-swayed beaches, white sand, billowing sailing boats and smiling locals. Even the narrow streets of Stone Town, twisting and turning through ancient Arabic buildings, look like an exotic film set.
