Tanzania is a country of amazing diversity, with everything from gorgeous tropical beaches to the highest free-standing mountain in the world, Mount Kilimanjaro. For more intrepid travellers, the latter provides a remarkable and rewarding, yet tough, climb to its snow-capped peak.

Fantastic wildlife-spotting opportunities abound at the World Heritage Sites, such as the Ngorongoro Crater, the untamed Selous National Park and the endless Serengeti National Park, which hosts the famous annual migration of wildebeest and zebra. The country’s game viewing experiences are widely regarded as some of the best in Africa.

Autumn through spring provide the best game-spotting opportunities, however April and May are the rainiest months and are therefore best avoided.
