🌏 Destination Overview
Tanzania is the epitome of African wildness and natural wonder. On the Serengeti plains unfolds the planet's most spectacular wildlife migration, as millions of wildebeest and zebras chase the rains and brave perilous river crossings; the Ngorongoro Crater is like a natural ark of animals, home to the Big Five. Africa's highest peak, Kilimanjaro, draws climbers, while Zanzibar Island offers the Indian Ocean's turquoise waters, white sands and the scent of cloves. With safari, climbing and islands all in one place, it is a classic choice for an African long-haul trip.
