Tanzania
At least twice as big as France, Tanzania is home to some of Africa’s most famed tourist destinations: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact caldera in the world. Bordered by Africa’s three largest lakes – Lake Malawi, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Victoria. Boasts spectacular views of game-filled plains as well as the annual Great Migration of millions of herbivores.
Our Highlights

- Claim bragging rights by hiking the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro.
- Tick off the bucket list and see the splendour and sheer other-worldliness that is the Ngorongoro Crater.
- For an unforgettable fitness experience, run or walk with a Masaai warrior across the plains
- Safari in the Ruaha National Park, one of the country’s most untouched landscapes and home to remarkable wildlife sightings.
- Visit Lake Manyara in Flamingo season when an estimated 2 million birds gather to feed along the edge of the lake.
