| Tanzania captures the
very essence of the African continent, and distils it
into one country, an African Eden of natural riches and
cultural wealth. Our country has inspired Hemingway and
Livingstone, proudly given the word 'safari' to the global
travel vocabulary and provided documentaries and Hollywood
with their perfect vision of an unexplored continent.
Tanzania is a land of superlatives,
home to Africa's highest mountain, deepest lake, and
largest inland body of water as well as its largest
game reserve, most famous National Park and most abundant
movement of wildlife. Our borders are custodian to snow-capped
peaks, fertile coral reefs, primate-rich virgin rainforest
and rolling African savannah, that are protected by
a progressive environmental and conservation policy
that is embedded in the country's constitution.
Tanzania is home to a patterned cultural
mosaic of over 120 distinct ethnic groups, united in
peaceful coexistence under one country, one language
and one flag. There is no history of civil unrest, ethnic
tension, political dictatorship or religious intolerance.
Tanzania was home to Man's first steps on Earth, our
national history subsequently defined by pre-historic
settlements, mediaeval city-states, colonial exploration
and peaceful independence.
Tanzania is the authentic Africa, a destination
of impressive natural, cultural and historical wealth,
a land of names such Serengeti, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar,
and we are proud to welcome our guests with the warm
'Karibu' of a friendly people.
Southern Tanzania –
Authentic Africa
-------------------------------------------------
The National Parks of southern Tanzania have gradually
earned a reputation amongst connoisseurs as the
best-kept secret on the African safari circuit,
offering remote, untouched swathes of game-filled
wilderness with an exclusivity borne of isolated
access.

Coast
-------
Swahili derives from an Arabic word meaning 'of
the coast', and so it is that much of the Swahili
language and culture trace their roots to the Indian
Ocean coastline. Explorers, Sultans and Slave Traders
all encountered Africa for the first time along
this history-steeped coastline creating the events
that were to define modern Tanzania, whilst the
islands of the Zanzibar Archipelago were to become
principal stepping stones for the culture that was
to mould Tanzania's people and their language.

Western Tanzania –
The heart of wilderness
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Western Highlands lace a ridge of the Rift Valley
escarpment, high above Lake Tanganyika and within
the game-filled enclaves that sit along its spine
there exist two small perfectly-formed worlds of
natural splendour, and one vast expanse of prime
African bush. None of them are accessible by car.

Northern Safari's –
Serengeti, Ngorongoro and beyond….
-------------------------------------------------------------
Northern Tanzania is the home of the classic safari
experience, a spectacularly diverse cluster of eco-systems
and habitats, linked by the movements of as definitive
a cross- section of wildlife as is found on the
African Continent. From the endless short-grass
plains of the Serengeti to the dense riverine forests
of Lake Manyara, the classic African savannah of
Tarangire to the lushly blended eco-systems of Ngorongoro,
there runs a shifting migration of African wildlife
that perfectly captures the safari experience.
