Tanzania can truly claim to be the home of "Safari" since the word is Kiswahili for "journey." And there's no better place to enjoy the enriching wildlife experience than Tanzania. The country's game viewing experiences are widely regarded as the best in Africa.

It's the place to see seemingly endless herds of wildebeest and zebras trekking across the plains on their annual migration, followed by the predators; lion, cheetah and hyena. It's elephant country also, boasting some of the largest populations in the world. And it's home to chimpanzee, now so rarely seen in the wild.

Tanzania also lays claim to the title, "The Cradle of Mankind", as the remains of one of the earliest humans were discovered near Olduvai Gorge. And the visitor will want to see Ngorongoro Crater, the largest caldera in the world teeming with game, along with the majestic, snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, is the tallest mountain in Africa. Tanzania also has hundreds of miles of palm-fringed beaches; lakes that are huge and bountiful with fish; relaxed and friendly cities; and exotic islands - Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia. The lodges and tented camps are very comfortable and each has its own distinct character and provide unique personal services, making the perfect base for an unforgettable safari.
