Northern Tanzania

Why Go?
For many visitors to Tanzania, it's all about the north. With snow-capped Mt Kilimanjaro,
wildlife-packed Ngorongoro Crater, red-cloaked Maasai warriors and the vast plains of
the Serengeti, northern Tanzania embodies what is for many the quintessential Africa. But
there's much more to this majestic and mythical place and it would draw scores of visitors
even if it didn't host these African icons.
Crater-capped Mt Meru is a climb that rivals its taller neighbour, dry-season wildlife
watching in Tarangire National Park is as good as any other park in Africa, and the desolate
Rift Valley landscape between Lakes Manyara and Natron will mesmerise you. Sleep in a
coffee plantation, hunt with modern-day nomads, ride camels, canoe with hippos…well, you
get the point.
You couldn't possibly do it all in one trip, but you'll make a lifetime of memories no mat-
ter how much time you have.
