The largest country in East Africa, Tanzania is renowned for its magnificent wildlife, lakes, mountains and scenery. Nearly a quarter of the country is made up of protected national parks, hunting reserves and controlled zones. Here too, are some of Africa's most famous sites - Mount Kilimanjaro, the crater of Ngorongoro and the Serengeti National Park. The great lakes - Victoria, Tanganyika and Malawi (Nyasa) - form the country's boundaries.
A journey through the land of the Serengeti reveals a wealth of breathtaking natural wonders including Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, and Lake Victoria, Africa's deepest lake and the source of the great Nile River. With internationally famous game parks like the Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Manyara, where wildlife roam in teeming numbers, a safari here is an unbelievable experience. The Great Migration in the Serengeti is a phenomenon that is beyond description - this mass xodus of 1.5 million wildebeest together with half a million zebra is one of the greatest spectacles on earth.
The Great Migration pattern follows a 500-mile route between Kenya and Tanzania, reaching its climax in the Southern Serengeti from December through to February. From May to July, during the dry season, the herds start drifting to the west towards Lake Victoria and back into Kenya. Tanzania is also the cradle of mankind: the earliest man lived here 3 and a half million years ago, and evidence is seen at the Olduvai Gorge near Ngorongoro, where fossils and other remains have been found.
