Tanzania like Kenya, it is a country of many outstanding adventure and travel destinations in Africa. The plains of Serengeti, the snow of Mt. Kilimanjaro are only a fraction of what Tanzania has to offer. For anyone who has ever dreamt of Africa, those names are poetic invocations, calling up in the mind's eye all of the fabled attractions of the continent itself. The country shares the its northern border with Kenya and Uganda. It is here the that the world famous wildebeest migration crosses the border in their search for fertile grasslands. Geography In the northeast of Tanzania is a mountainous region that includes Mt. Meru (14,979 ft/4,566 m) and Mount Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft./5,895 m), the latter of which is the highest point in Africa and possibly the most breathtaking mountain imaginable. To the west of these peaks is Serengeti National Park, which has the greatest concentration of migratory game animals in the world (200,000 zebra, for example). Within the Serengeti is Olduvai Gorge, the site of the famous discoveries by the Leakeys of fossil fragments of the very earliest ancestors of Homo sapiens. The Serengeti also contains the marvelous Eden of Ngorongoro, a 20-mile-wide volcanic crater that is home to an extraordinary concentration and diversity of wildlife.
Wildlife Tanzania is rich with wildlife and is one of the prime attractions in addition to the magnificent sceneries. It is a country that is quite like Kenya in that winter and summer seasons have no meaning. Only wet or dry. Some of the national parks have earned a world-class fame as safari destinations and what is more, the parks of Tanzania are never crowded.
