Tanzania

Tanzania is home to the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, the coral reefs of Zanzibar and the Great Rift Valley. The scenery is simply spectacular! 

Highlights during any trip to Tanzania include:

• Lake Manyara: Wonderfully scenic and world famous for its flamingos and tree climbing lions.
• Ngorongoro Crater: Its setting is unbelievable, as is the density and diversity of wildlife.
• Mount Kilimanjaro:  The snow covered peak of this majestic mountain.
• Selous Game Reserve: For those that want an “off the beaten track” experience, this is the place.
• Serengeti National Park: Teeming with wildlife, the Reserve is famous for the Great Migration.
• Tarangire National Park: The hidden gem of the northern circuit.
• Zanzibar: A dream beach destination, off the coast of the country. 

Best time to travel:

• The most popular months are January and February, when the weather is hot and dry and the wildlife tends to congregate around waterholes. 
• From June to October the Migration takes place and it’s an extremely busy (and exciting!) time to visit. 
• During the long rains (March to May) travel isn’t recommended.
