National Parks And Other Protected Areas

National Parks and other Protected Areas

Tanzania is one of the most spectacular and captivating countries in Africa, with scenery of unimaginable beauty and high cultural diversity. Although more than 25% of the land is afforded with some form of protection, (more than any other African country), it is an unfortunate reality that much of the remaining wilderness, particularly in the southern regions, do not receive an adequate level of protection and may soon cease to exist due to pressures of population and agriculture. It is our aim to draw attention to these areas and provide an economic reason for their protection.

Tanzania has 14 National Parks and numerous other conservation areas, ranging from the world famous Serengeti National Park and Selous Game Reserve to the more obscure Amani Nature Reserve and recently gazetted Kitulo Plateau National Park.

Tanzania is home to more than 80 large mammals, including the famous Big Five, and over a thousand species of birds!

Testimonials

"My friends and I went to Kili as well with MK Safaris in early 2008, and I agree with climbingkili - they are absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Caspar, made the trip a real pleasure.

We said goodbye to our fantastic crew at breakfast, with Kili standing majestically in the background blanketed again in a fresh layer of snow. The final hike down on Day 6 was not too bad. We had a celebratory Kilimanjaro Beer at the lunch stop, and we all felt quite energised. I ran the last 9km. Well maybe that's a bit of an exageration!
