Tanzania contains East Africa's most celebrated wildlife habitats — the vast Serengeti plains stretching to the horizon, the perfect volcanic bowl of the Ngorongoro Crater and Africa's highest peak, Kilimanjaro, watching over everything from its eternal snow. The Great Wildebeest Migration — 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebra and 500,000 gazelle rotating perpetually through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem — is the world's last truly great wildlife spectacle.
Ngorongoro Crater is a wildlife Eden unlike any other — a 20km wide caldera containing 25,000 large animals including all of the Big Five within a self-contained world. And Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak at 5,895m, can be reached by non-technical trekkers on a 6–8 day guided climb. Combine with Zanzibar's white-sand beaches for the ultimate Africa experience. EternalMiles Tanzania packages from India are built around the continent's most iconic experiences.
