Tanzania is one of the unique destinations on the African continent that has yet to be discovered by many. It is a land of many wonders hubbing an un-paralleled diversity of fauna and flora.

Kilimanjaro, the highest permanently snow-capped free standing mountain in Africa, the exotic Islands of Zanzibar, the finest game sanctuaries of Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Ruaha, Selous and the Marine Park of Mafia Island are only but a few of the living examples. Tanzania lies between the area of the great lakes, Victoria, Tanganyihika and Malawi - with the Indian Ocean on its' coastline to the east.
With foothills inhabited by elephant, buffalo, leopard and a wide variety of antelope, Kilimanjaro’s 5,895m Uhuru Peak is the highest point in Africa. Snow-capped and mysterious. There are several routes up, the gentlest being the Rongai & Marangu routes
