Northern Tanzania

Northern Tanzania is home to the Serengeti Plains, Olduvai Gorge and Mount Kilimanjaro. Of particular note in the northern region is the vast expanse of land set aside for national parks and wildlife reserves. Approximately one quarter of Tanzania's total area is protected land. These sprawling parks and reserves are among the most popular attractions in the country.

The abundance of wildlife, along with the annual migration of millions of animals across Northern Tanzania offers some of the finest wildlife viewing in Africa.

Mount Kilimanjaro or Mount Meru is a highlight for avid climbers and for those wanting to expend less effort, try the paths across the Shira Plateau.
