Wake to the call of stirring birds in the Ngorongoro Crater, or perhaps to the first rays of sun clearing Mount Kilimanjaro. These are the timeless sights and sounds of Tanzania, home to
the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Mt Kilimanjaro & the Zanzibar Archipelago
The Serengeti
This vast plain is witness to one of nature's great spectacles: the Great Migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and other grazing animals seeking fresh grass — followed closely by Africa's largest concentration of lion. Whether you're a first-time Africa visitor or a seasoned safari-goer, the Great Migration is not to be missed.
Lake Manyara
This shallow alkaline lake is best known for the millions of flamingo that call it home. The lake and its surrounding regions also shelter hippo, baboon, impala and a variety of other bird species.
Zanzibar Stone Town
Zanzibar Stone Town is the historic quarter where you can wander for hours through a maze of narrow streets, easily losing yourself in centuries of history. Each twist and turn brings something new – a former palace, a Persian bathhouse, a tumbledown ruin, a coral-stone mansion with carved doors and latticework balconies, or a school full of children chanting verses from the Quran. Today Zanzibar Town (sometimes designated Zanzibar City) is the capital of the state of Zanzibar, and by far the biggest settlement on Zanzibar Island. It's divided into two unequal parts, separated by Creek Rd: to the west is Stone Town, while to the east are the more recently built areas known as Ng’ambo (literally, 'The Other Side’), with other suburbs such as Amaani, Mazizini, Magomeni and Mwanakwerekwe, an urban sprawl of shops, markets, offices, apartment blocks, crowded slums and middle-class neighbourhood
Ngorongoro Crater
This ancient crater is a sheltered haven for wildlife, harboring nearly all of East Africa's iconic species. In addition to first-rate game viewing, the crater offers close proximity to Olduvai Gorge, the "Cradle of Humanity," where many pre-human fossil remains were discovered.
