TANZANIA

Discover the Wild Heart of Tanzania

Tanzania is arguably Africa’s most iconic safari destination, with nearly 40% of its land protected for
conservation. Its landscapes range from the highest peak on the continent to the world’s largest intact
volcanic caldera, hosting a staggering 20% of Africa’s large mammal population.

Iconic Landscapes

Serengeti Plains

Famous for their “endless” golden grasslands, these plains are dotted with kopjes
(rocky outcrops) and riverine forests.

Ngorongoro Crater

The world’s largest unflooded and intact volcanic caldera. It acts as a natural
enclosure for nearly 30,000 animals.

Mount Kilimanjaro

Rising to 5,895 metres, it is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and
features five distinct ecological zones, from tropical rainforest to arctic tundra.

Spice Islands (Zanzibar)

An archipelago in the Indian Ocean featuring white-sand beaches, coral
reefs, and ancient “Stone Town” architecture.

The Great Lakes

Tanzania borders three of Africa’s largest lakes: Victoria (north), Tanganyika (west), and Nyasa/Malawi (south).

Wildlife Highlights

Tanzania boasts the highest concentration of wildlife in Africa, including over 350 mammal species and 1,100 bird species.

The Great Migration

The world’s largest terrestrial mammal migration, where over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move through the Serengeti in a constant search for fresh grazing.

The Big Five

Tanzania is one of the best places to see the full “Big Five”—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the critically endangered black rhino (the latter is most easily spotted in the Ngorongoro Crater).

Giant Elephant Herds

Tarangire National Park is world-famous for its massive herds of elephants congregating around its river during the dry season, often set against a backdrop of ancient baobab trees.

Tree-climbing Lions

Similar to Uganda, Lake Manyara National Park is one of the few places on earth where lions are known to habitually climb trees.

Chimpanzees

Remote parks like Gombe Stream and the Mahale Mountains on Lake Tanganyika are the best sites in Africa to track wild chimpanzees in their natural habitat.
