Tanzania is situated on the east coast of Africa, and offers an abundance of environments to explore and wildlife to encounter. Common sightings include flamingos on Lake Manyara; or hippo, elephants and giraffe in the Ngorongoro Crater, not to mention the predators that the herds attract; huge herds of elephant in the Selous, Ruaha and Tarangire reserves; and of course the great migration which moves though the Serengeti, providing a number of spectacular sitings. Tanzania is also home to the highest free-standing mountain in the world, and the highest mountain on the continent, Mount Kilimanjaro.
