Why Tanzania?
Tanzania is an African destination without equal. With a wealth of natural resources, it is a land of vast plains, tall mountains, fresh-water lakes, majestic acacia trees, and ocean coastlines with picture-perfect beaches and superb offshore dive sites.
Tanzania is well known for its extraordinary wildlife. More than a quarter of its land mass has been set aside for conservation purposes, with the Serengeti National Park and Selous Game Reserve leading a rich array of preserved areas that collectively protect an estimated 20 percent of Africa's large mammal population. Each year Tanzania is the site of one of the most amazing wildlife spectacles on the planet: the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra through the Serengeti, which allows superb sightings of both these herd animals and the big cats and other hunters that follow.
Tanzania is home to the Big Five—elephant, rhinoceros, lion, leopard, and buffalo—but more than 80 other species of large mammals can also be found there, including giraffes, baboons, chimpanzees, and hippopotamus. With more than 1,000 species, Tanzania is also a bird-lover's paradise. |

The first time you see an elephant, giraffe, or cheetah in its natural environment is indescribably moving. And the sonic landscape—the low rumble of a lion's roar, the exotic call of mating birds, the hoots of a baboon troop—is music you will never forget. Each safari in Tanzania is a unique and unparalleled experience.
And there is far more to Tanzania than just safaris. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak on the African continent, and more than 30,000 people attempt the summit annually: is this your year? The country also contains the three largest freshwater lakes in Africa, and the shores of Lake Tanganyika are home to two national parks known as the best places in the world to track wild chimpanzees.

Zanzibar, the legendary spice island archipelago, is located just off the Tanzanian mainland in the Indian Ocean and offers pristine beaches, stunning dive sites, and fascinating architecture and medieval ruins.
The population of Tanzania reflects enormous cultural diversity with more than 120 tribes (more than any other African nation), and a harmonious co-existence prevails. Tanzania is a stable democratic country, and visitors find it to be one of the friendliest and most hospitable destinations in all of Africa.
You will find a wide range of accommodations in Tanzania: incredibly luxurious lodges and permanent tented camps, upscale migratory tented camps in the Serengeti, only feet from the migratory herd, and small, intimate camps and lodges set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens. You may decide upon a large lodge with all the comforts of home, a tented camp where wildlife wanders through the camp, or a charming lodge for an intimate few. There are properties to match your style and budget.
