• Tarangire National Park

  It is the vast number of magnificent baobab trees that first capture the eye as you enter Tarangire National Park. The gently rolling countryside is dotted with these unusual trees, which seem to dwarf the animals that feed beneath them. During the dry season (June to October) there is an annual animal ‘migration’ into the park, as wildlife travels from other areas into the park to quench their thirst in the waters of the Tarangire River. During this period, the park has the largest concentration of animals in any park in northern Tanzania.

• HOW NGORONGORO CRATER WAS FORMED

  Once thought to be higher than Mt. Kilimanjaro before exploding, the crater is an iconic wilderness and safari destination. Linked to the Serengeti the two areas, as we know them today, were formed at the same time. With the explosion the crater was formed. Time and wind ensured ground cover and vegetation taking hold and producing one of the most nutritious eco-systems on earth. There are said to be 25 000 animals living in the crater, many of which are permanent residents.

  It can get quite cold at night and in the early morning at Ngorongoro so make sure to pack appropriate attire.

• ZANZIBAR BEACH ADD-ON
