Tanzania is an East African country known for its vast wilderness areas and large wildlife populations. They include the plains of Serengeti National Park, a safari mecca populated by the “big five” game animals (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), and Kilimanjaro National Park, home to Africa’s highest mountain. Offshore lie the tropical islands of Zanzibar with a marine park home to whale sharks and outstanding coral reefs. A fantastic safari destination to combine with Mountain Gorilla viewing in neighbouring Rwanda, Uganda or the famous Congo rainforests.
