Country
Safari in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar
Destination guide
In the Serengeti, a lone acacia stands on the golden plain, and at dawn mist turns gold over herds of wildebeest and elephants. From June to October the great wildebeest migration moves north, and from a jeep with a pop-up roof you watch lions resting on the rocks.
Ngorongoro Crater is a vast volcanic caldera with a lake and herds of zebra, buffalo, hippo and, with luck, rhino. In the north of the country, Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 metres, rises above the clouds.
On Zanzibar, Stone Town has narrow lanes with carved wooden doors and the scent of spices, and the beaches have turquoise water and wooden dhows at sunset. Safari days begin before sunrise, when the animals are most active and the air is cool.
