Tanzania is justifiably famous for some of the greatest attractions in Africa. The north of the country is home to the short grass plains of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Mount Kilimanjaro, whilst the south of the country offers a more private and remote experience, famed for its very high standard of walking safaris. Offshore islands such as Zanzibar (see separate list) offer some of the most beautiful beaches and impressive diving the Indian Ocean can provide. All are easily accessible by small aircraft after a safari, making a perfect two-centre holiday. Whether you are a first time safari goer or a serious Africa buff, the best of the parks' lodges and camps will not disappoint. Here is the pick, to suit all budgets, chosen by experts of many years standing. The hotels are listed by price category, and their order bears no reflection on our preference.
