Itinerary

Tanzania’s giants: Kilimanjaro & Arusha

The glacier-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro are undoubtedly the defining features of Tanzania’s Arusha region and the country at large. Thousands of climbers traverse its slopes to reach the summit each year, which holds the title of being Africa’s highest mountain as well as the highest freestanding mountain in the world. Climbers can navigate their way across any of the mountain’s seven routes. Kilimanjaro’s lesser-known but no-less-impressive neighbour, Mount Meru, is an active stratovolcano offering glorious views of the Arusha National Park and is renowned for being one of the most scenic mountain climbs.

See predator & prey facet-by-facet

Tarangire National Park is a hidden gem in Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit. With herds of elephant, lions and other game flocking to its river banks and swamps during the dry season, it offers an excellent East African Safari!

A flourishing basin within the Ngorongoro Crater

Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater has been part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) since 1973. Aside from boasting a fertile floor and thus an abundance of wildlife (notably the Big 5), the crater is also the only intact caldera left in the world. Fun fact: many speculate—before Ngorongoro erupted—it would have been higher than the mighty Kilimanjaro. Located 1,800 metres above sea level in the Ngorongoro Highlands, the crater’s vegetation ranges from forest on one slope and grassland on the other, to a floor consisting largely of grassland renowned for leopard spotting.

Witness the Great Migration on Safari in the Serengeti

Stretching itself across 1.5 million hectares of land, the Serengeti National Park is known for its impressive population of wildlife—most notably the Big 5. It is perhaps more renowned for being part of the stage on which the annual Great Migration plays out. Each year, over two million wildebeest, a fair number of gazelles, and small following of zebra seek better grazing areas by migrating south in the Serengeti, then west and north into the Maasai Mara before eventually returning.

It is unsurprising that the Serengeti’s bustling plains offer some of the most remarkable safari opportunities in the country, and visiting in the right season will promise astonishing sites of this natural phenomenon. The Serengeti’s terrain varies from the volcanic grasslands and vast plains that are interrupted by rocky outcrops, rivers, volcanoes, and forests.

Go on safari in Kenya’s maximum famend nature reserve

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly Kenya’s most notable and revered reserve. Its sheer size—extending to and eventually joining Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park—and stringent anti-poaching systems have made it famous for its remarkable populations of lion, cheetah, and leopard. It is also celebrated for being one of the stomping grounds of the Great Wildebeest Migration.
