Tanzania is well-established as one of the best wildlife-viewing destinations in the world. Safaris follow the trail of giant herds of antelope or wildebeest across the Serengeti, while lions lounge to the Ngorongoro Crater a true Garden of Eden and the conical silhouette of Kilimanjaro, beckoning for strong lungs and legs. Just off the coast the beaches and Arabian-infused culture of Zanzibar offer guests a very different Africa.
