Destination Overview
Tanzania
Tanzania is a country of natural brilliance, spectacular wildlife, and seductive white sandy beaches. Apart from being the ideal bush and beach destination, visitors can witness the mighty herds of the Great Migration in the Serengeti. Tanzania and Zanzibar together offer a magnificent chance to visit the geological wonders, ancient towns & archaeological sites. In Tanzania one also has the chance see the magic of historic Stone Town with its winding cobbled streets and Omani style architecture.

Weather
Much of the country is covered by a plateau, where a large number of world-famous tourist attractions are found, in particular, the savannah environment with its characteristic flora and fauna, preserved in various parks and nature reserves. This plateau has a subtropical or tropical climate, not too hot because of altitude. On the contrary, the thin coastal stretch is hot and humid throughout the year, especially from November to April. The June-August period (kipupwe) is the coolest of the year, and is dry almost everywhere.

Beaches of Zanzibar
The coast of Tanzania is perhaps most famous for the Zanzibar Archipelago, a cluster of islands that enchants and beguiles with its oriental mystique and forgotten exoticism — the very name evokes the Spice Islands and the dhow trade, sultans and palaces built of limestone and corals against the palm trees and the crashing surf.
Mount Kilimanjaro
Towering over the Serengeti plains, Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro is not only Africa’s tallest peak, but the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Many travellers set out to climb this permanently snow-capped volcanic beast, rather than simply gazing at it from below, on organised guided treks that take five or more days.
The Serengeti
Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park is a classic African landscape – sweeping plains, herds of wildebeest, elephants plodding in front of silhouetted acacia trees and lions snoozing in the long grass. The Big Five are in residence here, and the Great Migration thunders through, too, making this a fantastic place to go on safari at almost any time of the year.
