Tanzania - Tanzania is classic Africa – Kilimanjaro, the Great Rift Valley, Masai homelands and the celebrated game-filled plains of the Serengeti. The country’s wildlife parks and reserves are unrivalled for their abundance of game. It is here that the ancient ritual of the largest wildlife migration in the world plays out annually. Huge herds of zebra and wildebeest, along with the predators and other species that follow them, move across vast Serengeti plains from December to May. Tanzania is also the site of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro; the continent’s largest wildlife sanctuary, Selous; and Africa’s deepest lake, Tanganyika. Ngorongoro Crater serves as home to a host of animals, including big game as well as astonishing birdlife. Nearby, trace the footsteps of man’s earliest ancestors at Olduvai Gorge. In the north, Masai tribes strive to maintain and share their cultural traditions with visitors. Both Lake Manyara Reserve and Tarangire Park feature fabulous bird-watching opportunities. Southern Tanzania’s lesser known game parks such as Ruaha, Katavi and Mikumi National Parks are still uncrowded and present travelers with quieter and more personal encounters with nature and wildlife. The remote Udzungwa Forest is sometimes compared to the Galapagos for its endemic plants and animals such as the Iringa (Uhehe) red colobus monkey and the Sanje Crested Mangabey. The latter was only discovered in 1979 . In addition to wildlife viewing, Tanzania boasts miles of white sand beaches on the legendary island of Zanzibar and other tropical, clove-scented islands.
