KILIMANJARO NATIONAL PARK:

Mount Kilimanjaro

Kilimanjaro National Park is the home of Mount Kilimanjaro’s equatorial snow-capped peaks, which form some of the most famous images of Africa.  Mount Kilimanjaro, situated in northeast Tanzania, is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest free-standing mountains in the world.

It is actually an active volcano and possesses the highest walkable summit in the world, Uhuru Peak, one of six glaciers and volcanic peaks at the top. The scenery is varied and visitors climbing to the summit pass through hot savannah, alpine tropics and finally an arctic moonscape and may even spot elephant wandering the higher slopes. A game reserve since 1921, the area was designated a national park in 1973

Stone town Tanzania

Zanzibar is situated about 40km (25 miles) off the coast of Tanzania, . Stone Town is the old city and cultural centre of Zanzibar, which rose to prominence in the 17th century. The town is made up of narrow streets and winding alleys, bazaars and mosques. It is also home to many grand Arab houses, which were built in the 19th century when Zanzibar was one of the most important trading centres in the Indian Ocean. Key attractions in Stone Town include the Old Dispensary, Livingstone’s House, the Peace Memorial Museum, the Palace Museum, the Arab Fort and the House of Wonders (which translates from its local name, Beit el Jaib). Zanzibar itself has many breathtaking beaches and is also famed for the rare Kirk’s Red Colobus monkey, which can be found in the Jozani Forest. As well as Zanzibar, Tanzania boasts many smaller islands which are just a short trip from Stone Town, includingPrison (Changu Island), Chapwani, Chumbe and Bawe Islands

 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK:

Serengeti National Park

Made a game reserve in 1921 and a national park since 1951, Serengeti National Park is the largest park in Tanzania and one of the most famous in the world. Serengeti fittingly means ‘endless plain’ in the local Maasai tongue and at 14,763 sq km (5700 sq miles), it features a diversity of environments, ranging from savannah and grass plains to woodland and black clay plains. The glory of the Serengeti, however, is its wildlife, and the park is most famous for the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra and Thomson’s gazelle. It also teems with lions, elephants and ostriches, and is home to around 500 different species of birds. The Seronera Valley is popular amongst visitors who come to see the resident prides of lions and photograph the many leopards that can be found in the branches of the acacia and sausage trees. The two saline lakes in the park, the Lagaja and the Magadi, are famous for attracting flamingos that feed on the lakes’ animal and plant life
