With highlights like Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar, Tanzania is definitely a country to be recognised both in terms of wildlife and beauty. For many, it's the ultimate safari destination, and with national parks and game reserves covering 28% of the country Tanzania has more land devoted to wildlife than anywhere else in the world.
Tanzania's most famous attraction, Mount Kilimanjaro, at 5,895m, is Africa's highest mountain and the only free-standing mountain in the world that can simply be walked up.
Whether you enjoy the tranquillity of the Swahili coast, game watching in the magnificent parks or the challenge of ascending Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania has it all.
