HOME TO AFRICA'S
LARGEST NATIONAL PARK

With majestic, snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, the grandeur of the Ngorongoro Crater (actually a collapsed volcano or "caldera") and sweeping Serengeti plains vistas as a backdrop, Tanzania is a treasure trove of wildlife, in an unspoiled setting. Large cats rule the land in Tanzania, with significant concentrations of lion, cheetah and leopard spotted regularly.

Tanzania is home to an extensive national parks system, including Serengeti National Park, Africa's largest. Each spring, some two million wildebeests and zebras move hundreds of miles north in the last great migration on Earth. Picnic at the Ngorongoro Crater, while you encounter huge flocks of flamingos, more than 300 species of other birds, large populations of lions and endangered black rhinos.

Gameviewing is second nature at Sanctuary Lodges & Camps in Tanzania – in many instances, all you need do is simply step outside onto your private verandah, and animals are looking back at you. Among the best accommodations are Swala and Kusini, "country-house"-style tented camps created as a low-impact answer to viewing nature in this environmentally sensitive and secluded region of Africa. Both blend seamlessly with their natural settings – Swala in Tarangire Park, and Kusini, one of only eight permanent camps in the 15,000 square kilometer Serengeti National Park.

These are your front-row seats for the spectacular migrations and other wonders that Tanzania has to offer.
