TANZANIA
Tanzania boasts a collection of natural phenomenon; the hauntingly beautiful
snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, the vast amphitheatre
of The Ngorongoro Crater, and the plains of the Serengeti where one can see the
curvature of the earth. Tanzania is also home to the earliest human remains and is
rightfully called the 'Cradle of Humanity'. Tanzania is a premium game viewing
destination. Unspoilt by large scale tourism, it is an incredibly beautiful country,
with landscapes varying from the remote forested mountains bordering Lake Tanganyika
and the vast expanse of the red soil plains of Tarangire to the icing-sugar
perfection of the Indian Ocean beaches.
The safari opportunities in Tanzania are virtually endless. The great migration
from the Serengeti is one of the most enthralling game viewing spectacles, as are
the enormous elephant herds that inhabit the Selous, Africa's largest game reserve.
The chimpanzees of Mahale are equally enthralling whilst the incredible density of
game that populates the Ngorongoro Crater needs no introduction.
With a wide variety of stunning lodges and tented accommodation, Tanzania has
something for everyone. Whether it is the flamboyant and colorful Grumeti Camp or
the authentic Meru style Nomad mobile camp, the hospitality and guiding are second
to none. For those seeking an ultra remote experience there is Chada Camp in Katavi
where huge herds of game roam at will across the landscape.
A land without fences, Tanzania's opportunities for adventure are as unfettered as
the landscape. As well as 4x4 safaris, there are myriad opportunities for walking,
horseback and mobile safaris, cultural visits to the Maasai villages, as well as the
great challenge of climbing Kilimanjaro.
Once the dust has settled and foot weary walkers have returned from exploring, what
more idyllic contrast could there be than the soft white beaches of the coast or the
exotic islands of Zanzibar and Pemba? Relaxing in one of the most romantic places in
the world is a perfect conclusion to a Tanzanian safari.
