TANZANIA NATURAL HABITAT: An agricultural country with rich volcanic soils, spectacular mountains, soda lakes, freshwater lakes and vast areas of raw wilderness protected by national parks, game reserves and community-led wildlife management areas encourages a free-roaming migration of wildlife species countrywide. The landscapes, flora and fauna span a variety of habitats, including the endless plains of the savannah, dense Indigenous rainforests, swamps, freshwater lakes and soda lakes, and rich agricultural lands. The biodiverse ecosystems create a beautiful tapestry of incredible wildlife, powerful landscapes and colourful, rich culture. Woven into this tapestry of nature is a harmony of religions, languages, cultural traditions, and architectural influences of migration and food.

TANZANIA SAFARIS: Safari experiences here are vivid and alive, ranging from the comfort of luxury lodges to the basics of fly camping and walking safaris. Tanzania rises in altitude from the white sandy beaches of the East African coast to the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro.
