Tanzania

A must for anyone who wants to channel their inner David Attenborough, a Challenges Abroad trip in Tanzania offers the chance to see up-close the amazing wildlife of the area. With the largest concentration of animals per square kilometre, you won’t be disappointed. Tanzania is the quintessential Serengeti safari experience with elephants, wildebeests, giraffes, big cats and predators, and even crocodiles, all roaming their natural habitat. With so many locations around the country for wildlife spotting, including Lake Victoria, Lake Natron and the Ngorongoro conservation area, you’ll have the opportunity for real insights into conservation efforts. Venturing off-shore, you’ll find the tropical paradise islands of Zanzibar, with waters full of quaint fishing boats, whale sharks, and coral reefs.

Tanzania has a prominently Swahili culture, which can trace its roots as far back as the 6th century. There is also clear influence from other areas of Africa, as well as notable Arab influence. Many tribes inhabit rural areas, including the Maasai. For many people, the natural wonders of Tanzania are an experience that can’t be beaten.
