Tanzania is a country dominated by vast, open plains and amazing wildlife. The wildlife viewing that you will experience is some of the best in Africa. The majority of people feel that if you were to expand on the list of the Seven Wonders of the World, the National Parks of Tanzania would be the eighth. In addition, if you were to rank the best places to visit in all of Africa, Tanzania would have three of the top five: Serengeti National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Ngorongoro Consarvetion Area and Crater. Members of the Tanzanian government and visitors bureau have come up with the ten best places to visit while in Tanzania - almost all of them serviced by New Adventure Safaris. The ten best places include:
Serengeti National Park and the awesome sight of the great wildebeest migration
The snow capped mountain of Mount Kilimanjaro; the highest walkable peak in the world
The three million year old Ngorongoro Crater
Olduvai Gorge and the Southern Serengeti; the place where man was born
The mystifyingly deep Lake Tanganyika; it holds over one-third of all the fresh water in the entire world
Mafia Island in the Indian Ocean
Oldonyo Lengai, the only active volcano in the Ngorongoro National Conservation Area; also called the Maasai Mountain of God
Selous National Park; the largest game reserve in all of Africa and home to over one-half of Tanzania’s elephant population
Lake Manyara, the Rift Valley, the sea of pink flamingos, and the home of the tree-climbing lions
The remote, untouched wilderness of Katavi National Park
Not only is Tanzania an amazing place to visit because of its vast National Parks, it is home to generous, giving, knowledgeable people who are excited to share their traditions and cultures with you. On any village or city street you will not only interact with businessmen and women, but the shuka-clad Maasai warriors. Tanzania should be on the top of your list of places to go.
