Tanzania
Famous for its National Parks and hosting
some of nature's greatest wildlife spectacles, Tanzania
is incredibly beautiful and unspoilt. From the Serengeti,
home to nearly 3 million wildebeest and zebra, which
migrate annually along age-old pathways, to the equally
stunning Ngorongoro Crater, and the awe-inspiring Mt
Kilimanjaro and the mighty Selous Game Reserve, the
largest wilderness reserve in Africa - all this and
more will reveal the vastness of this country.

cheetah and leopard.
