Tanzania protects 25 percent of its land area through national parks and reserves—a higher percentage than any other country in Africa. Its attractions include the spectacular Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, but with far fewer crowds than you’ll find in Kenya. Tanzanian safari operations are laid-back, and while you have a good chance of seeing the big five (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant), you’re a lot less likely to see a congregation of lumbering tourist buses. Safaris range from classic wildlife viewing to active safaris with excursions into the remote bush.
