Destination Dossier
Tanzania is the safari country of legend — the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar's spice-scented shores within a single border. The Great Migration thunders across its plains, and the southern parks of Selous and Ruaha offer a quieter, wilder counterpoint to the northern circuit.
