Spanning an area of 14,000 kilometres, the Serengeti has a great diversity of landscapes and habitats – short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps and lakes.

Visit the world’s largest intact caldera with up to 19 km length and its famous 610 m height in the north of Tanzania – the Ngorongoro Crater. As one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa the Ngorongoro Highlands show off with its beauty and a spectacular variety of wildlife and plants in a very compact area. Together with Olmoti and Empakai, the Ngorongoro Crater has been declared as UNESCO World Heritage.
Kilimanjaro
Hike one of the seven summits and the highest African peak, Mount Kilimanjaro. Formed by volcanic activity, it is a dormant volcano with three cones – Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. Just less than 330 km from the equator in the country of Tanzania, a journey to the top of the world’s tallest free-standing mountain is an extreme adventure and feels like going from the tropics to Antarctica.
