Tanzania offers iconic safari
destinations such as the legendary Serengeti Plains, the geological
marvel that is the Ngorongoro Crater and magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro.
On top of all this, it hosts the greatest show on earth - the annual
Wildebeest Migration - ensuring a perfect Tanzania Safari Holiday.
These destinations are well-known and draw thousands of visitors on
memorable African holiday safaris, but this beautiful country also has
some of the wildest wilderness areas in Africa in the southern region
such as Selous Game Reserve - one of the largest game reserves in the
world - and Ruaha National Park. These southern reaches of Tanzania
provide Africa's wildest safari holidays.
To the west of the country, in the Lake Tanganyika region, you can go
trekking in search of chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park and
Mahale Mountains National Park. Made famous by the legendary researcher
Jane Goodall, the chimpanzee experience is a great addition to a
Tanzania safari holiday.
Wildlife and wilderness aside, Tanzania also boasts some of the most
romantic and unspoilt tropical beaches in Africa. First on the list of
amazing Tanzania beaches is Zanzibar, once home to Sultans and
explorers, a place of exotic spices, azure waters and incredible
architecture.
There's more: Pemba Island and Mafia Island, part of the Zanzibar
Archipelago, have to be among the few remaining island paradises in
existence. Why not combine them with a safari? A Tanzania safari and
beach holiday equates to one of Africa's greatest safari holiday
experiences
