Tanzania has some of the absolutely best wildlife areas in Africa - no less than 25% of this vast country's area is dedicated to the conservation of wildlife - and names like Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara bring forth images of savannah abounding with wildlife. Over the past decade, Tanzania has been in the shadow of Kenya as far as tourism is concerned. However, the situation is rapidly changing and a growing number of visitors to Africa choose Tanzania - often in conjunction with a safari in Kenya. Both the roads and lodges are steadily improving, and today the best lodges are comparable with what you find in any other African country.
