Destinations
Tanzania
The Serengeti, the Crater and the migration
Tanzania holds the best-known wildlife spectacles in Africa and still has room to escape them. Follow the Great Migration as it moves through the ecosystem, calving on the southern plains in February and crossing the Mara River in the north from July. Drop into the Ngorongoro Crater, an intact caldera holding wildlife at extraordinary density. Then head for the far corners, Ruaha and the Selous, where the game is as good and the vehicles are few. Zanzibar and the Indian Ocean are a short flight away.
