SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Arguably the world’s best safari destination, Serengeti National Park’s sweeping savannahs are the epitome of great plains; 1.5 million hectares of wide-open spaces studded with acacias, exceptional wildlife viewing, and the spectacle of the great wildebeest migration deliver a one-of-a-kind safari experience.

Stretching from lush woodlands and grassy plains in the south to the verdant Maasai Mara in the north, each region of the park displays its own unique and intricate characteristics.

NGORONGORO CRATER CONSERVATION AREA

An unmissable addition to any Tanzania circuit safari, the Ngorongoro Crater is a wildlife Eden like no other, formed by the collapse of an ancient volcano two and a half million years ago.

Home to the Big 5 and one of the largest predator populations in Africa, these fertile lands host an abundance of diverse prey in a unique ecosystem. With an impressive diameter of 19km and depth of 610m, Ngorongoro is the largest unbroken caldera in the world, an incredible sight to behold from the apex of the crater rim.

ZANZIBAR ISLANDS

An unforgettable combination of culture, history, exclusivity and romance, the Zanzibar Archipelago is an authentic island-style destination – the perfect setting to unwind after an exhilarating safari.

Offshore of the palm-fringed white sand beaches, warm blue waters boast some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world. Zanzibar’s unique blend of African and Arabic cultures is on full display in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Stone Town, an amalgamation of historical architecture and colourful markets.
