Tanzania's most iconic park — 14,763 km² of endless plains hosting the Great Migration, dense Big Five populations, and some of Africa's best predator action.
The world's largest intact volcanic caldera shelters 30,000+ animals within its 260 km² floor. Home to Africa's densest population of lions and the endangered black rhino.

Where the bush meets the beach — Tanzania's only coastal national park lets you watch elephants stroll past dhows, and green turtles nest on the same shores as hippos.
The Spice Island — turquoise lagoons, white coral beaches, Stone Town's UNESCO lanes, and world-class diving make Zanzibar the perfect safari extension.
