Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
The National Parks in Tanzania are world famous. Each National
Park offers something different, whether it be a different type
of animal or bird or a different type of game drive. Certain parks
allow walking or boat safaris. The Serengeti has wide-open plains
and huge herds of wildebeest. Ngorongoro Crater, considered the
eight wonder of natural world, has a huge concentration of many
different animals and a relatively healthy population of rhinoceros.

Climb
Mount Kilimanjaro
For the adventurous. East-Africa offers many amazing trekking
and mountain climbing opportunities. Mount Kilimanjaro is certainly
the most famous of climbs. It is the highest mountain of Africa
and a destination for adventurers from around the world every
year. Kilimanjaro is not the only interesting challenging climb.

beautiful trek. The Usambara Mountains offer a variety of treks,

Rafting
on the Nile
For thousands of years the source of the river Nile was the very
symbol of mystery and adventure. The English explorer Speke solved
the mystery in the 1860's, but the adventure is still there! White
water rafting on the first 30 kilometers of the River Nile offers
some of the most challenging, stunning and fun rapids in the world.
You can combine the rafting with a community walk in Jinja, the
source of the Nile, or a visit to Kampala, the capital of Uganda.

Meet the Gorillas in Uganda
Uganda is home to half of the world's population of Mountain gorillas.
Extensive efforts at conservation have led to a number of Gorilla
families being habituated to human contact. It is indeed a great
privilege to be able to visit these enormously powerful but gentle
creatures in their spectacular natural habitat, the tropical forests.
Besides the gorillas we can also take you to watch chimps or many
other animals in the other parks in Uganda like Queen Elizabeth
Park or Murchison Falls. Read more

Relax
on Zanzibar Beach
There's something so exotic about the name Zanzibar that you might
conclude it is not a real place at all, but simply a name from
a fairytale of the east, or the Thousand and One Nights. But Zanzibar
is indeed a real place. Zanzibar is the given name to a cluster
of beautiful historical Islands that nestle in the waters of the
Indian Ocean just off the coast of mainland Tanzania. It is the
perfect place to relax or for watersport activities. The coral
reefs are famous for the quality of their snorkeling and diving.
