Tanzania

Tanzania is an East African country of iconic natural landmarks, from the Serengeti plains and Ngorongoro Crater to the coral reefs of Zanzibar and the forested slopes of Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. The Swahili culture of the coast and the Maasai traditions of the interior give the country a cultural depth that complements its extraordinary wildlife. It is one of the best-organised safari destinations in Africa, though the Zanzibar archipelago rewards those who stay beyond the beach.

  • Mount Kilimanjaro is the world's tallest freestanding volcano, not just the highest peak in Africa.
  • Zanzibar's spice trade made it one of the wealthiest places on earth in the 19th century.
  • One of the most stable countries in East Africa, yet almost never headlines.
