Tanzania

Tanzania is East Africa's crown jewel for wildlife safaris, home to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Africa's highest peak — Mount Kilimanjaro. From the endless plains to the spice-scented shores of Zanzibar, Tanzania offers an unrivalled range of safari experiences.

“With 16 national parks, 29 game reserves, and several marine parks, Tanzania protects roughly a third of its land area for conservation — one of the highest ratios in Africa. The country is the only place on Earth where you can witness the Great Migration, summit Kilimanjaro, and relax on pristine Indian Ocean beaches in a single trip.”

Where in Tanzania can I witness the Great Migration?
