Summary

Tanzania is a country of superlatives: the highest, the longest and the deepest. Kilimanjaro is the highest and the most massive freestanding mountain in the planet. Like two enormous gashes through the Earth's crust are the eastern and western arms of the Great Rift Valley, running the length of the country, and surrounded by spectacular volcanic scenery. Ngorongoro is the world's largest complete crater and, as the location of Ngorongoro National Park, is described by many as the eighth Wonder of the World. Lake Tanganyika is the longest body of fresh water on the planet and where else on Earth is it possible to view two million wildebeest and zebra on their relentless annual migration.
