Planning Your Tanzania Safari
From the breath-taking landscape of the Ngorongoro crater, to the thundering sound of the Great Migration, Tanzania offers unique and awe-inspiring experiences that will evoke all of the senses. Planning your once in a lifetime holiday to Tanzania brings with it excitement and also a bit of fear, but MyTanzaniaSafari.com aims to make Planning Your Tanzania Safari as straight forward as possible.
Tanzania is a country of great diversity. Within its borders lie some of the most spectacular grass-lands rich with game, the majestic peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Mere and the exotic spice islands of Zanzibar. The country is split by the Great Rift Valley which is offset by a series of lakes forming part of the 61,000 sq. kms. of inland waters. Over 14% of the land in Tanzania is under some form of protection scheme. Bordered by a total of eight countries and the Indian Ocean to the East, the following are just a taste of what Tanzania has to offer.
Don’t forget as well as the standard safari activities Tanzania is also a place to enjoy kite surfing or Hot Air Ballooning in Serengeti or Chimpanzee Trekking On Safari
