About Tanzania
A land of breathtaking landscapes, extraordinary wildlife, and warm hospitality — home to some of the most spectacular natural wonders on Earth.
Welcome to Tanzania
Tanzania is East Africa's largest country and one of the most biodiverse nations on Earth. From the sweeping plains of the Serengeti to the pristine shores of Zanzibar, from the snow-capped summit of Kilimanjaro to the ancient caldera of the Ngorongoro Crater — Tanzania offers experiences found nowhere else on the planet.
With over 40% of its land area protected as national parks and reserves, Tanzania is a sanctuary for wildlife. The country hosts the largest population of wild animals in Africa and is one of the last places on Earth where vast herds of animals roam freely across open plains.

Natural Wonders of Tanzania
From vast savannas to volcanic craters, Tanzania is home to some of the world's most spectacular landscapes and ecosystems.
Serengeti National Park
Home to the Great Migration — over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra traverse these endless plains in the world's largest overland migration.

The Heart of Tanzania
Tanzania is home to over 120 ethnic groups, each with their own traditions, languages, and customs. The Maasai, with their vibrant red shukas and deep connection to the land, are perhaps the most recognised, but Tanzania's cultural tapestry extends far beyond any single group.
Swahili — Tanzania's national language — is a bridge between these diverse communities and has become one of Africa's most widely spoken languages. The warmth and hospitality of the Tanzanian people, captured in the greeting “Karibu” (Welcome), makes every visitor feel at home.
