Tanzania
Tanzania is a fascinating destination in East Africa, known above all for its extraordinary wildlife. This is one of the main attractions for travellers:
Serengeti National Park:
Famous for the great migration, in which millions of wildebeest and zebras move between the Serengeti National Park and the Maasai Mara in Kenya. This migration is one of the most spectacular natural events in the world.
The park is also home to a wide variety of other animals, including the "Big Five": lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos and buffalo.
Ngorongoro Crater:
A UNESCO World Heritage Site with one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. In this former volcano, large herds of zebras and gazelles roam, while lions and other predators are always on the hunt.
Famous, too, is the population of endangered black rhinos.
Selous Game Reserve:
One of the largest wildlife reserves in Africa, still little visited. Especially well known for its huge baobab trees and high elephant numbers (Tarangire reference). In the dry season many animals come to the water holes, making wildlife viewing easier.
But not only the wildlife of the savannahs is remarkable — the underwater world along the Zanzibar coast also offers exceptional opportunities for snorkelling and diving. Coral reefs and a wealth of tropical fish make this area a paradise for sea lovers.
In addition to its impressive wildlife, Tanzania is also known for its cultural diversity. Over 120 ethnic groups live in Tanzania, which is reflected in traditions, dance and cuisine. A visit to the Maasai people offers a deeper insight into local culture.
Tanzania is an absolute dream for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. The chance to witness one of the world's greatest animal migrations, together with the variety of landscapes and the country's rich culture, makes Tanzania an unforgettable travel destination. Anyone seeking adventure in the wild should put this breathtaking country firmly on their list.
