Africa's highest peak and biggest wildebeest crossing — plus the Stone Town archways of Zanzibar. Mainland safari, summit climb, then white sand on the Indian Ocean.
14,750 km² of grass plain — the northern stage of the Great Migration. Big cats year-round, calving in February, river crossings into the Kenyan Mara in July.
The "Roof of Africa." Six routes — Machame (most popular), Lemosho (best acclimatisation), Marangu (huts), Northern Circuit (longest). 6–9 days, no technical climbing.
Carved wooden doors, narrow lanes, the Old Fort, the slave-trade memorial. Birthplace of Freddie Mercury. The cultural heart of the Swahili coast.
A volcanic caldera 600 m deep with all Big 5 trapped inside — including the densest lion population in Africa. Rim lodges have the world's best sunrise view.
Powder-white beaches at the northern tip of Zanzibar — Nungwi for sunsets, Kendwa for swimmable tide. Resort line ranges from $50/night hostels to ultra-luxe lodges.
Best wildlife viewing. Migration river crossings July–August. Camps fill 6 months ahead.
Migration in southern Serengeti, baby animals everywhere. Predators feast. Hot but dry.
Many camps close. Cheap if you go. Game viewing still solid in Serengeti south.
Driest windows on the mountain — clearer summit views, less ice.
