With an abundance of wildlife and some of Africa's most beautiful national parks, a vacation in Tanzania is a safari dream come true. Each region is home to specific animal species: Desert antelopes in Ruaha, flamingos and tree-climbing lions at Lake Manyara, chimpanzees in the Mahale Mountains, and crocodiles and hippos in the Rufiji River in Selous. Between safaris, you'll see elephants and giraffes pass by from your luxurious lodge. The white sandy beaches of Zanzibar are the perfect change for those seeking rest after the impressive safaris.
