MT. KILIMANJARO
The snow-capped, dormant volcano that is MOUNT KILIMANJARO has exerted an irresistible fascination since it was "discovered" by Europeans in the mid-nineteenth century. Rising over 5km from the surrounding plains to a peak of 5895m, Kilimanjaro – a national park and a World Heritage Site since 1989 – is Africa's highest mountain, the world's tallest free-standing massif and one of the world's largest volcanoes.

ZANZIBAR
Zanzibar is an archipelago consisting of two main Islands of Unguja (commonly referred to as Zanzibar Island), Pemba and about 51 other surrounding small islets. The name Zanzibar is derived from a combination of two Arabic words, 'Zenj', meaning black, and 'bar', being the Arabic word for land, resulting in the ancient title 'Land of the Blacks'. Pemba is the second largest island of the Archipelago, named Al-khudra "The Green Island” by the Arabic mariners. It is famous for its clove production and its channels offer some of the best diving experiences in East Africa

NGORONGORO
Ngorongoro Crater is the world largest unbroken, unfolded volcanic caldera 250 sq km in size and 600m deep. The crater boasts of a blend of landscapes, wildlife, people and archaeology that is unsurpassed in Africa. The volcanoes, grasslands, and mountain forests are home to an abundance of animals and also to the Tanzanian Maasai. Ngorongoro Crater is one of the world's greatest natural spectacles; its magical setting and abundant wildlife never fails to enthrall visitors. It borders the Serengeti National Park to the south. As you ascend you will notice Masai pastoralists herding their animals and their strong insistence on their customs and traditional way of life allow them to live harmoniously with the wildlife and the environment.
