Tanzania · The Map
From the endless Serengeti to the reefs of Zanzibar — the parks, crater and coast that make Tanzania a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Northern Tanzania
The Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Kilimanjaro — Tanzania's most iconic wildlife country.
Northern Tanzania
The Serengeti National Park is Tanzania's most iconic wildlife destination and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spanning 14,763 square kilometers of endless plains, the Serengeti ecosystem hosts the Great Migration — the annual movement of over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle in search of fresh grazing.
Northern Tanzania
The Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most remarkable natural wonders in Africa. Formed when a massive volcano exploded and collapsed on itself two to three million years ago, the crater is now a 260-square-kilometer caldera with walls rising 600 meters from the floor.
Northern Tanzania
Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest peak at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) and one of the world's most iconic mountains. Unlike other major peaks, Kilimanjaro requires no technical climbing skills — it's a trekking mountain, making it accessible to anyone with good fitness and determination.
Northern Tanzania
Tarangire National Park is one of Tanzania's most underrated yet wildlife-rich destinations. Covering 2,850 square kilometers, the park is famous for its massive elephant herds — some numbering in the hundreds — that gather along the Tarangire River during the dry season.
Northern Tanzania
Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania's smallest but most diverse parks, packing an extraordinary range of habitats into just 330 square kilometers. From the alkaline lake that gives the park its name to groundwater forests, open grasslands, and steep escarpments, Manyara offers remarkable variety in a compact area.
Northern Tanzania
Arusha National Park may be small (552 km²), but it packs remarkable diversity into its boundaries. Encompassing Mount Meru (Tanzania's second-highest peak), the Momella Lakes, montane forest, and open savanna, the park offers a microcosm of Tanzania's natural beauty just 40 minutes from Arusha city.
Coastal Tanzania
Tropical islands with white beaches, coral reefs and deep Swahili culture.
Tanzanian Archipelago, Indian Ocean
Zanzibar is a tropical archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, comprising two main islands — Unguja (commonly called Zanzibar) and Pemba — plus numerous smaller islets. The main island is a place where African, Arab, Indian, and European cultures have blended over centuries to create something entirely unique.
Tanzanian Archipelago, Indian Ocean
Pemba Island is Zanzibar's less-visited, more pristine sister island. Located 50 kilometers north of Unguja (main Zanzibar), Pemba is greener, hillier, and far less developed — making it the perfect destination for travelers seeking untouched beaches, world-class diving, and authentic Swahili culture without the crowds.
Southern Tanzania, Indian Ocean
Mafia Island is Tanzania's best-kept coastal secret — a laid-back island in the Indian Ocean, 200 kilometers south of Dar es Salaam, known for its whale shark encounters, pristine coral reefs, and complete absence of mass tourism.
Southern Tanzania
Remote wilderness with exceptional wildlife and barely another vehicle in sight.
Central Tanzania
Ruaha National Park is Tanzania's largest national park at 20,226 km² — and one of Africa's most remote and untouched wilderness areas. Located in central Tanzania, far from the tourist circuits of the north, Ruaha receives a tiny fraction of the visitors that the Serengeti does, yet its wildlife numbers are extraordinary.
Southern Tanzania
Nyerere National Park — formerly known as Selous Game Reserve — is Africa's largest game reserve, covering a staggering 30,000+ square kilometers of pristine wilderness in southern Tanzania. In 2019, the northern portion was designated as Nyerere National Park, while the remainder retains the Selous Game Reserve designation.
