Overview

Why Tanzania

Tanzania is the ultimate safari stage — the endless Serengeti and the Great Migration, the wildlife-packed Ngorongoro Crater, and the spice-island beaches of Zanzibar. Add the roof of Africa, Kilimanjaro, and the wild southern parks, and few countries can match its range.

Whether it's the river crossings of the north or the calving herds of the southern plains, Tanzania delivers safari on the grandest scale.

  • The Great Migration across the Serengeti
  • The wildlife density of the Ngorongoro Crater
  • Zanzibar's spice-island beaches
  • Climb Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak
  • Wild, uncrowded southern parks

June to October is prime for the northern circuit and the Migration's river crossings (July–September). The southern Serengeti calving (January–February) is a spectacle in its own right. The long rains (April–May) are quiet and green.
