Planning a Tanzania & Zanzibar holiday

The Serengeti hosts the migration for most of the year, with calving on the southern plains early in the year. The Ngorongoro Crater holds one of Africa's densest concentrations of wildlife, rhino included, on its grassy floor. Then fly to Zanzibar for the lanes of Stone Town, a spice tour and the white beaches of Nungwi.
