Tanzania is Africa at its most spectacular. It is home to the endless plains of the Serengeti, the wildlife-filled Ngorongoro Crater, the snow-capped summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar — all in a single country, and all within reach of our base in Arusha.

More than a quarter of Tanzania is protected as national parks, game reserves and conservation areas. That protection is why the country hosts the Great Wildebeest Migration, some of the largest elephant herds on the continent and every member of the Big Five.

Why visit Tanzania?

• World-class wildlife — the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara form the famous northern safari circuit.
• The roof of Africa — Kilimanjaro (5,895 m) is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and needs no technical climbing skills.
• Beach and culture — Zanzibar's Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by turquoise water and spice farms.
• Warm people — Swahili hospitality, Maasai, Hadzabe and Datoga cultures, and a country known for its peace and stability.

When to go

Tanzania is a year-round destination. The long dry season from late June to October offers the easiest game viewing, while January to February is calving season in the southern Serengeti. The long rains of April and May bring green landscapes, fewer visitors and lower prices.
