TANZANIA - 10 DAYS
KILIMANJARO CLIMB - 8 DAYS (MACHAME ROUTE)
 
Tanzania's extraordinary wildlife and grand landscapes have been enchanting visitors and explorers alike.
  The country's friendly citizens are eager to welcome you to their beautiful land and invite you to discover its natural treasures. A Tanzania safari will reward you with wildlife, scenery and culture unlike anywhere else in the world. It is here that the remains of one of the earliest humans were discovered which has earned Tanzania the title of 'cradle of mankind.'

Pemba, Mafia, and Zanzibar, Tanzania's beautiful exotic islands are within reach of the mainland and easily accessible.

The year-round snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, which inspired the likes of Ernest Hemingway, is a majestic sight not to be missed. Ngorongoro Crater is another one of Tanzania's fascinating landscapes. Recorded to be the largest in the world, it forms an area teeming with wildlife and vegetation. Perhaps the most famous landmark of Tanzania is the impressive Serengeti. These high plains located in the northern part of the country, vary in elevation between 3,280 to 6,560 feet and stretch over 5,700 square

Tanzania can also claim that it is the home of the 'safari' since the word is Swahili for journey. Many say that Africa's best game viewing safaris are in Tanzania. Endless herds of zebras and wildebeest migrate across the plains annually. Following close behind you'll witness a number of predators such as lions, cheetahs and hyenas.

You can overnight in a small tented camp or a comfortable lodge and experience the adventure as you retrace the steps of those early pioneers.
