Experiences You Can Have Only in Tanzania

Ol Doinyo Lengai

This Tanzanian volcano is the only active volcano in the world that spews out carbonatite lave instead of silica, which results in some rather bizarre and unusual sights. Its cool temperature, compared to other volcanic Magna, means that the lava can harden in seconds and sometimes shatters mid-air before falling over the slopes. It also contains a high level of alkaline elements such as calcium, sodium, and potassium, which give the lava unusual colour features.

Tours & Safaris

Tanzania is Africa’s visual masterpiece. It is a country of natural splendour, astounding wildlife, seductive beaches, charming ancient towns, archaeological sites and geological wonders. Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, rises from lush, grassy plains and towers over the land. Its snow-capped peak is a sight to behold. Climbing Kilimanjaro is surprisingly easy and standing on the roof of Africa is a life-changing experience. The ideal bush and beach destination, visitors can witness the mighty herds of the Great Migration thundering across the Serengeti plains and end their unforgettable safari with a serene beach holiday on Zanzibar, the intoxicatingly beautiful and exotic Spice Island.
