Tanzania

The Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and the spice island of Zanzibar.

Tanzania holds the image of Africa most people carry in their head: vast herds moving across the Serengeti, lions in the grass, and the Ngorongoro Crater’s collapsed volcano teeming with wildlife. To the east, Kilimanjaro rises from the plains, and offshore, Zanzibar floats in turquoise with its Stone Town spice history and white-sand beaches. A good Tanzanian safari is about more than sightings — it’s an expert guide reading the land, a well-run camp, and timing your trip to the Great Migration. Pair the bush with a few days on Zanzibar and you have the complete East Africa trip: wildlife, culture and ocean in one journey.
