Why Tanzania

Africa's Greatest Wildlife Destination

Tanzania is the definitive African wilderness experience. Home to the legendary Great Migration, the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, and the highest free-standing mountain on Earth, this East African nation offers a concentration of natural wonders found nowhere else.

Our national parks span over 42,000 square kilometres of protected wilderness — from the elephant-dotted baobab forests of Tarangire to the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, from the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara to the turquoise waters of Zanzibar.
