Kilimanjaro Holiday and Safari - Serengeti National Park
Kilimanjaro SafariA Safari in the vicinity of Kilimanjaro can be just what the doctor ordered after a tough climb. Due to the fact that the sites of Tanzania truly are as diverse as they are beautiful, many climbers elect to extend their trip for a week or two subsequent to climbing Kili, so as to further explore the incredible surroundings within the country. Interestingly enough, the word Tanzania actually means 'journey' in the country's native Kiswahili dialect. Indeed, any journeys undertaken within its borders are unlikely to be forgotten, even by the most seasoned of travellers.

For starters, the wildlife parks within Tanzania are viewed by nature lovers as being possibly the best in the world. Herds of zebras, wildebeest, and buck roam the rolling plains in their droves, whilst big cats such as leopard, lion and cheetah scout the herds from the camouflage of the high grass. Lake Manyara National Park is renowned for it's wealth of pink flamingo, whilst the infamous Ngorongoro Crater needs no introduction, and is home to among many other species the Black Rhino and African Elephant.
Taking a trip through the Serengeti National Park during migratory periods will give visitors the opportunity to witness the awe-inspiring migration of wildebeests and zebras by their millions, whilst the Tarangire National Park, Mikumi National Park and Selous Game Reserve all have their own breathtaking scenery and unique combinations wildlife to offer. All Wildlife Parks are easily reached from the town of Arusha and indeed Arusha National Park itself is incredibly easy to access and is home to an abundance of wildlife, including giraffe, hippos and baboons.
Lakes such as Eyasi Lake, otherwise referred to as the forgotten lake and Narton Lake are both worth a visit, if only for their spectacular scenery. Conservationists may be interested in stopping in at the Gombe Stream National Park, home to the notorious Jane Goodall chimpanzees, while historians will be enthralled by the Olduvai Gorge. Situated within the Great African Rift Valley which runs down the eastern side of Africa, this gorge is hailed as the birthplace of civilization and ultimately the 'Cradle of Mankind.'
