Resting at the foot of Mount Meru, the city of Arusha is known as the gateway to northern Tanzania's safari circuit. It serves as an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding region, including Mount Kilimanjaro, Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Thanks to its elevation, Arusha enjoys a pleasant climate with moderate temperatures throughout the year. Visitors can explore the wildlife-rich Serengeti and Arusha National Parks or take on the challenge of climbing Mount Meru, Africa's fifth-highest mountain.
The Chem Chem concession lies in the renowned migration corridor between the famed Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Parks, covering over 20 000 hectares. The landscapes here are characterized by vast grasslands dotted with ancient baobab trees, inhabited by a variety of wildlife including herds of elephant, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, impalas, and over 400 species of bird. Visitors can look forward to dining under the African night sky, day and night wildlife safaris, and visiting a traditional Maasai village. Other popular activities include horse riding, bird watching, fishing, guided bush walks, 4x4 trails, hiking, picnicking, and game drives.
Northern Serengeti occupies the remote reaches of Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, where sweeping grasslands, wooded hills and the Mara River create one of Africa's most remarkable wildlife landscapes. Best known for dramatic river crossings during the Great Migration, the region offers unforgettable game drives with opportunities to see vast herds of wildebeest and zebra alongside lions, elephants, leopards and crocodiles. Outside the migration season, quieter plains and year-round resident wildlife provide a more secluded safari experience. Crisp morning air, the distant calls of birds and the golden glow of the savannah at sunrise immerse visitors in the rhythms of the wild, leaving a lasting impression of nature on an extraordinary scale.
With its gorgeous palm trees, powder-white sand, and glistening azure waters, Diani Beach is a popular resort area on Kenya’s magnificent Indian Ocean shoreline, about 30 kilometres south of Mombasa. Warm seas and exquisite coral reefs are the ideal environments for water-based activities including snorkeling, scuba diving, and boat safaris. Divers are likely to see turtles, mantas, barracuda and, if lucky, possibly even the elusive whale shark, the planet’s largest animal. Don’t miss the Colobus Conservation, a wonderful sanctuary for these fascinating endangered primates; the Shimba Hills National Reserve which offers an exceptional safari experience; and the nearby Kisite Marine National Park, known for its dolphin and turtle sightings. An array of excellent shops and alluring sea-facing restaurants completes the package of this destination.
