:: Where we go - Tanzania

Often referred to as the "cradle of mankind", Tanzania is a kaleidoscope of landscapes, cultures and welcoming smiles… a riotous assault of colours, smells and fleeting images and a journey into an Africa of the past. Wandering through twisting alleyways of Stone Town in Zanzibar, alive with the scent of myriad spices and the haunting cry of the muezzin; crouching low in the deep, shady undergrowth watching a chimpanzee family; looking out over the open plains of the Serengeti: a solitary Maasai warrior silhouetted against the pearly dawn sky; a pack of wild dog and their puppies pondering the wisdom of crossing a stretch of crocodile-infested waters; like a mirage, snow-capped Kilmanjaro shimmers in the far distance.

Highlights
	Vast plains of the Serengeti, scattered with beautiful rock kopjes and teeming with wildlife as the great migration creates a continually moving mass of wildebeest, zebra, numerous gazelles and predators that stretches as far as the eye can see. Visit the southern Ndutu area in February when the movement comes to a temporary halt as the wildebeest give birth, greatly swelling the already phenomenal numbers. Ngorongoro Crater, a natural phenomenon with thrilling game viewing Selous Game Reserve, the oldest and largest single reserve in Africa, traversed by impressive sand rivers Ruaha National Park, a wild and remote park in southern Tanzania Mahale and Katavi National Parks – both off the beaten track but the tropical, forested slopes of Mahale bordering Lake Tanganika and the watery grassy plains of Chada both offer alternative game viewing experiences Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest free standing mountain in the world Zanzibar, Pemba, Mafia - idyllic beach destinations with culture and history

Weather
	Tanzania has a pleasant tropical climate which, being close to the equator, is not very seasonal. Rainfall is split into two main periods: the short rains in November and December and the long rains from March until the end of May. January and February are fairly dry.

Activities
	Game viewing, on foot, by boat and by vehicle with drives during the day and at after dark Climbing Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru Discovering the archaeological secrets of Ol Duvai Gorge with its large quantity of fossil remains Tracking chimps in the forested slopes behind the shores of Lake Tanganyika Mobile camping safaris in the Serengeti, Selous, Ruaha and the spectacular Loliondo area of Northern Tanzania Diving and snorkelling in the Indian Ocean
