 Tanzania
is still gloriously wild. Roads run through it, of course, and
it's spotted with campgrounds and lodges. But mostly the wildlife
has it to themselves: huge herds of elephants and wildebeests,
flocks of flamingos, silent families of giraffes, noisy packs
of wild dogs. Lions have no trouble finding lunch; zebras skitter
about, worried they'll
be lunch;vultures wait to clean up.
The
wild remains wild because it is protected. A huge portion of
Tanzania is set aside as national parkland - from Serengeti
in the north, which sweeps uninterrupted from neighboring Kenya's
Masai Mara park, to Selous in the south, with its long distances
and large variety of animals. No area is more protected, by
geography as well as by permit, than Ngorongoro Crater, whose
steep walls create a separate ecosystem with its own representative
collection of animals. Because these spaces are protected -
and because they are so wild - the best way to see them is by
guided tour. (And at Ngorongoro, you can't go on your own.)
Even the most adventurous traveler will benefit from the guides'
expertise: They know where the animals are, and they can take
care of the paperwork quickly.
Although
most visitors spend their time in the wildlife areas, travelers
should make time for Tanzania's other attractions as well. The country
boasts Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa; white-sand
beaches on the Indian Ocean; and reefs for diving off the exotic,
evocative island of Zanzibar.
