Tanzania & Zanzibar

Tanzania is home to some of East Africa’s finest sights which will enthrall visitors of all ages. Whether you take time to hike its summit, or merely admire it from afar, there’s no doubt that Mount Kilimanjaro – the tallest mountain in Africa – is a highlight of any Tanzanian itinerary. Meanwhile, the Ngorongoro Crater is a natural volcanic feature which will take your breath away. However, Tanzania is also home to an impressive number of safari parks including the Serengeti, where you can spy game animals in their natural environment. And if that weren’t enough, the unique island of Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania is the perfect place to unwind on a glorious beach whilst absorbing its rich colonial history.
