Tanzania
It may be just a little bit more than twice the size of California, but it delivers more bang for buck than a dozen countries put together. Well, for one, it has Africa’s highest mountain, the magnificent snow-capped Kilimanjaro, with its myriad ways up to the peak. Then there is the largest concentration of animals per square kilometre, over 4 million at last count, roaming that pre-eminent natural wonder of the world, the Serengeti (also the stage for the Wildebeest Migration). This is the land that spawned the quaint dugongs 55 million years ago, which eventually evolved into Tanzania’s magnificent wild elephants, and the earliest human skull was unearthed in the Olduvai Gorge, giving you an idea of how ancient this patch of earth is. To top all these superlatives, visit Chumba Island, Zanzibar, to feast on the Coconut Crab, the largest side-scuttler in the world and reportedly the most delicious.

Peak Season Description:
Migration season, when the weather is warm and dry, and the world's greatest nature show is on display across the Serengeti. This is an event that is often sold out 9 months a year in advance, so plan and book ahead. Also, depending on month, plan with your operator on the best place to be to catch the most action.
Shoulder Season Description:
June is the shoulder month between nothing happening at all and the mass migration, when everything peaks. November March sees short rainfall and slowly increasing humidity. Animals are still out in staggeringly large numbers, so this would be the time to avail of great rates.
Low Season Description:
Heavy rains. All safaris and lodges will be shut and wildlife sightings are rare and difficult. Not recommended to travel to Tanzania at this time.
