Tanzania

A premier East African wildlife destination, home to the Serengeti, Mount Kilimanjaro and the island of Zanzibar.

Tanzania lies in East Africa on the Indian Ocean. In the north stands Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, and in the west it borders Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika. The northern circuit starts from Arusha and links national parks including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara, where you can witness the wildebeest migration. Offshore, Zanzibar has Stone Town and white-sand beaches, while Kilwa and Bagamoyo preserve historic sites of the Swahili Coast. The dry season from June to October is the best time for wildlife viewing, and March to May is the main rainy season. Main gateways are Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro International Airport.
