Tanzania

Highlights of Tanzania trips

1. Mount Kilimanjaro: The highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro rises more than 4.5km high above the plains – it's so high that even this close to the equator it's still capped with snow. It has become especially popular because it’s not technical and requires no specialist equipment, allowing adventure nuts without much trekking experience the chance to take on one of the most exhilarating challenges of their lifetime. This is not a trivial trek, but exceptional views, mountain beauty, contrasting climate zones as you ascend and an incomparable sense of achievement as you reach the 'Roof of Africa' make every tough step worth it. Whether you choose the Rongai or Lemosho route, Exodus allows an extra day to acclimatise, which can make all the difference to reaching the summit.

2. See the Serengeti: The natural spectacle of the Serengeti has been so heavily documented that just the word conjures up images of treeless wide plains, teeming with wildebeest, zebras and gazelles harassed by lions, cheetahs and leopards hiding in the long grass. Now imagine seeing that in the flesh, African sun on your face, wind in your hair as you follow this famous migration on a game drive. This is one adventure holiday experience you don’t want to miss.

3. Gaze across the Ngorongoro Crater: Rich natural resources and the 600m-high walls keep the abundant wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater from ever migrating and have created a natural 'zoo'.

4. Zanzibar: The idyllic island of Zanzibar combines heavenly beaches, exceptional diving and a traditional way of life on the shore, in the cobbled alleys and chaotic bazaars of the towns. It's a place where you can spend one day snorkelling in clear seas with dolphins diving in the distance, then eat from street stalls as you inhale the pungent smells of the spice market the next.
