Tanzania is a fascinating country with diverse landscapes, majestic summits, clear lakes and mighty streams, lush rainforest and open savannahs. These often unspoiled areas form unique habitats for a large variety of animals as well as over 1000 bird species. Mt Kilimanjaro (5895m) is the highest mountain in Africa and Mt Meru the ninth highest.
The Serengeti National Park with its endless savannah and Ngorongoro Crater (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) both offer unbelievable game viewing while the islands of Pemba and Zanzibar are perfect for relaxing, swimming and diving after a bush safari. Not only will you find a variety of birds and animals in the parks, but also colourful flowers, butterflies and reptiles.
For avid divers there is a vibrant underwater world of marine life to be explored on the reefs of the Indian Ocean. On our trips you will also learn more about the different cultures and tribes found in Tanzania such as the little known Iraqw people.
If you are looking for a challenge, Mt Kilimanjaro, the roof of Africa, is here for you to conquer. So much more than just being the highest peak in the entire African continent AND the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. For many, it represents the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime personal challenge - an arduous but highly rewarding 6 to 8 day trek up to Uhuru Point (the actual summit) or to Gillman's Point (on the lip of the crater).
The famous snow-covered peak of Kilimanjaro towers an impressive 5,895 metres (19,336 feet) above the African plains below. It is situated within the Kilimanjaro Nation- al Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the Tarangire in search of its huge elephant herds, gaze upon the pink glow of flamingos on the shore of Lake Manyara or be astounded by the abundance of wildlife inside the Ngorongoro Crater, a collapsed volcano.
The famous endless plains of the Serengeti will take your breath away and you will doze off listen- ing to the deep roar of the lions roaming past your campsite.
Prefer to travel off the beaten track? Consider the less visited parks in southern Tanzania – Mikumi National Park, Selous Game Reserve, Ruaha National Park or Udzungwa Mountains National Park or book a trekking trip in the Ngorongoro Highlands
Almost as multifaceted as the Tanzanian landscape, are the people and their culture. Over 120 tribes with their own traditional languages and rites live together harmoniously in Tanzania.
