Destination

Kilimanjaro
Tanzania is a stunning destination in Africa, known for its breathtaking wildlife, pristine beaches, and rich cultural heritage. Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, offers amazing climbing opportunities and incredible views. Serengeti National Park, covering around 1,476 square kilometers, is famous for its diverse wildlife, including over three million large animals. The name "Serengeti" means "the place where the land moves on forever" in Maasai, and the park features two Biosphere reserves and two World Heritage sites. The Great Migration is a remarkable annual event where about 220000 zebras and millions of wildebeests migrate from the northern hills to the southern plains from October to November, seeking lush grasses. After heavy rains in April and June, they journey north again, navigating rivers and valleys. The best viewing spots are in Serengeti and Maasai Mara National Reserve. To reach Serengeti, most safaris start in Arusha. Fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport or Julius Nyerere Airport, then take a domestic flight or drive. A charter plane can take you directly to one of the park's airstrips from Arusha, which is about 325 km away. In the park, visit the Grumeti River for crocodile sightings and enjoy a hot air balloon safari to experience stunning views at dawn. You can explore the local Maasai culture and purchase handmade souvenirs. The prime time for a Serengiti safari is from April to May when the wildebeest migration is in full swing.
