Famous for the migration of over 1500 white bearded wildebeest and zebras which dominate the plains of the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, a large volcanic caldera, annually.
Serengeti National Park
An East African country known for its vast wilderness areas and a must for the African adventurer. They include the plains of Serengeti National Park Tanzania, a safari mecca populated by the “big five” game (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), and Kilimanjaro National Park, home to Africa’s highest mountain. Offshore lies the tropical islands of Zanzibar and Mafia Marine Park, where whale sharks swim through reefs. Combining a safari experience and seaside holiday is truly a memorable getaway.
MOUNT KILIMANJARO
With its three volcanic cones, “Kibo”, “Mawenzi”, and “Shira”, is a dormant volcano in Tanzania. It is the highest mountain in Africa, and rises approximately 4,900m from its base to 5,895m above sea level. For the adventurer wanting to expand internal limits, a climb to one of the summits, is a must.
WHEN TO TRAVEL
Tanzania’s climate changes with its diverse landscapes. Generally, January and February are the high season for travel in Tanzania as the hot, dry weather is generally considered to be the most pleasant. The best time to visit the Serengeti is late June to October when the animals are most abundant. Expect afternoon downpours during the wet season (from March to May); however, during this time you’ll find your tourist attractions in Tanzania will be less crowded so you won’t have to compete.
Tanzania offers a wide variety of outdoor experiences, wonderful wildlife viewing opportunities, warm people and the chance to connect with ancient cultures. Consult a Travel Specialist for a selection of your desired Tanzanian safari packages.
