Tanzania

With about one fourth of the land covered by national parks and reserves and approximately 20% of Africa’s wildlife in attendance here, Tanzania is undoubtedly one of the most sought after wildlife destinations in the world. You'll witness thousands of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, elands and impalas as they follow their migration route across the vast plains of the Serengeti, on a Tanzania safari. If you’re looking for a physical challenge, brave the terrain to trek up Mount Kilimanjaro - the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. Walk along the white sandy beaches of “Spice Island” Zanzibar or roam through the historic city of Dar es Salaam -Tanzania has all this and more on offer.
