About Tanzania
Tanzania is the crown jewel of East African safari country, home to the Serengeti's thundering wildebeest migration and the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro rising above the plains. The Ngorongoro Crater shelters one of the densest concentrations of wildlife on earth, while Zanzibar's turquoise waters and spice-scented Stone Town offer a perfect coastal counterpoint. From tracking big cats at dawn to summiting Africa's highest mountain, Tanzania delivers raw, transformative encounters with nature.

Local Tips
Book safari lodges and Kilimanjaro permits well in advance as popular routes and camps fill up months ahead during peak season.
Bring binoculars and a zoom lens of at least 200mm for the best wildlife photography from game vehicles.
Malaria prophylaxis is strongly recommended for mainland Tanzania and coastal Zanzibar.
Tip your safari guide and camp staff in US dollars as it is the preferred tipping currency throughout the safari circuit.
Pack layers for early morning game drives as temperatures on the Serengeti can drop below ten degrees Celsius before sunrise.
