Serengeti Plains

Tanzania

Tanzania may be best known for Africa's highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. This is a major attraction that draws mountaineers from near and far. For those interested in making the climb, you will need to plan on about 6 to 8 days and make sure you have a trusted guide to help you make the trek. Your efforts will be well rewarded as you will venture through five different climatic zones to reach the summit.  

If climbing isn't on you list of things to do, you may want to see the plains of the Serengeti and the 35 animal species and about 500 kinds of birds that live here. This is an unforgetable wildlife sanctuary with the highest concentration of plains animals in Africa.

 Travel Tips

• Plan to visit the Serengeti in November through May to see the herds migrating.
• The Serengeti rainy season is March to May and the coldest temperatures are usually in the evenings June to October.
• The best and safest time to climb Mount Kilimajaro is during the high season January to March and September and October.
