The Serengeti
The Serengeti is renowned for its abundant wildlife, in particular its large numbers of predators – especially lions, leopards, and cheetahs – and of course the quintessential Serengeti landscapes of the acacia-studded savanna. It’s one of the best places to visit if you’re hoping to witness part of the Great Migration, when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest follow the rains between Kenya’s Masai Mara and the Serengeti’s plains. Arguably it is one of the greatest wildlife-watching destinations on earth.
The Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. Spanning 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq kms in area, it is a breath-taking natural wonder with a huge density of wildlife and is named a World Heritage Site.
Tropical islands
Tropical islands are another of Tanzania’s appeals. The island of Mafia has a marine park with whale sharks and coral reefs, which make it one of Africa’s premier tourist destinations. Known as the Spice Island, the beautiful Arabic-inspired Zanzibar has a rich culture and history, coupled with idyllic white beaches hailed as some of the world’s best.
