Tanzania
The Home of Safari
Where the plains never end
Tanzania is safari at its grandest — the endless Serengeti and the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth, the Eden of the Ngorongoro Crater, herds beneath ancient baobabs, and the spice-scented shores of Zanzibar. It is a land of superlatives, from the snows of Kilimanjaro to the depths of the Great Rift, where the wilderness feels limitless and the game viewing is second to none.
Six reasons to go
The Great Migration
The Serengeti holds the herds year-round — from the thundering Mara River crossings to the great calving on the southern plains.
Ngorongoro Crater
A collapsed volcanic caldera and natural amphitheatre holding one of Africa’s densest concentrations of wildlife, including black rhino.
Roof of Africa
Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa — a magnificent backdrop to the plains and a bucket-list ascent.
Zanzibar & the Spice Coast
Powder-white sand, dhows and the UNESCO-listed Stone Town — the perfect end to a safari.
Baobab Country
Tarangire’s great elephant herds and Ruaha’s wild, uncrowded wilderness beneath ancient baobabs.
Chimps of the West
Mahale and Gombe on the shores of Lake Tanganyika — rare, remote chimpanzee trekking.
When to go
Tanzania rewards travellers all year — each season has its own distinct character.
