Kilimanjaro, Serengeti and Northern Tanzania Holidays

Ngorongoro and Northern Tanzania holidays have it all: mighty mountains (including Kilimanjaro), world-famous wildlife watching and some of mother nature’s most spectacular sites including the deep Ngorongoro's crater and lofty Crater Highlands. In short, there's far more to a Northern Tanzania safari than the Serengeti - magnificent as the scene of the great wildebeest migration undoubtedly is. The main event away from the Serengeti on Northern Tanzania holidays is, of course, the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This three million year old and 12 mile wide caldera of an extinct (thankfully) volcano is quite possibly the world's best natural zoo, with the high walls acting like a vast pen, and the lush crater floor home to game including elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, black-maned lions and endangered black rhinos in unprecedented numbers. Throw in local Maasai herders in their bright red shukas grazing their cattle for the full Ngorongoro holiday photographic experience. Once you've hit these game viewing heights, lace up your walking boots to tackle Kilimanjaro, enjoy natural highs sampling the delicious produce in the Karutu coffee region, or lie low to spot the abundant birdlife on the shores of lovely Lake Manyara. Explore Ngorongoro and Northern Tanzania from the air on a private flying tour to get a true sense of this epic landscape, or stay closer to the ground while you hike through the wilderness and keep your eyes peeled for the wonderful wildlife that resides here.
