Tanzania is a top safari destination and, in our opinion, it’s the gem of Africa.
Tanzania is a land blessed with an abundance of wildlife, panoramic
vistas and some of the most kind, hospitable and gracious people in all
of Africa. It remains untouched by time and is still as wild, rugged and
untamed as ever.
Tanzania abounds with natural beauty
Over 35% of its land is allocated to national parks and game and
forest reserves. It is also home to the highest point in Africa – Mount
Kilimanjaro – which measures in at 5895 meters or 19,341 feet. Tanzania
is also a politically stable, safe country in which to travel. The
proximity of so many stunning parks and conservation areas only adds to
Tanzania's appeal as a safari destination. Several parks and
conservation areas can be visited in a few days, allowing visitors to
take in a wide range of Tanzania's landscapes and scenery in a
relatively short period of time.
Tanzania is home to Serengeti National Park
The most popular Tanzania safari destination is the Serengeti. Here
tourists can witness the awe of the annual herbivore migration, which
includes nearly two million wildebeest and thousands of antelope and
zebra. The Serengeti is roughly ten times larger than Kenya’s Masai Mara
Game Reserve, yet it receives a much lower number of tourists each
year, per square kilometer/mile. There is truly the opportunity to get
off the beaten path in Tanzania, especially in the Serengeti, and to
experience the vast beauty of the African wilderness without being
surrounded by hordes of tourists.
Tanzania is the ideal African safari location
If you’ve been enchanted by safari documentaries on television you
will be utterly speechless when you become part of your African
surroundings. Words cannot describe the initial sensation of being out
on safari, enveloped by endless expanses of African savannah, or in
spotting your first leopard, lounging lazily in a sausage tree. A visit
to Tanzania and its wilderness is truly a step back in time. As soon as
you land at one of the small dirt airstrip in the Serengeti, you feel
utterly removed from the modern, bustling world. There are no
restaurants trying to capitalize on your visit, and no buildings to
block your view of your gorgeous surroundings. In fact, the biggest
possible impediment to a quick descent into Serengeti is the odd giraffe
or impala grazing on the airstrip, necessitating a chase from the local
ground crew. |
