There are poignant sites to be visited from the times of the slave trade. There&#8217;s ancient culture that lives on through the Maasai people of the Serengeti, unchanged for centuries. And that&#8217;s all without even mentioning Kilimanjaro!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/tanzania\">Tanzania <\/a><\/strong>is a country of extreme diversity, and here are six reasons why it should definitely be on your travel radar.<\/p>\n<h3>Spot the Big 5 in the Ngorogoro Crater<\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever heard a lion roar? While on <strong><a href=\"\/tanzania\">safari <\/a><\/strong>my guide made us sit by a pride of lions for over two hours waiting for it. Though I got a bit bored at the time, I\u2019m so grateful. It\u2019s unlike anything you can imagine \u2013 the sound is mind-blowing, ear-splitting, and downright terrifying.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23234\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"\/tanzania\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23234\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-tanzania_ngorongoro_male-lion-2-e1509819362216.jpg\" alt=\"Tanzania guide Ngorongoro Crater\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-23234\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A lion in the Ngorongoro Crater<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Everyone who goes on safari comes out with a story \u2013 mine was the roaring lion, a friend\u2019s was of a leopard protecting its young from monkeys, or a playful baby elephant who wouldn\u2019t stop irritating its mother. Go beyond the documentaries and see this world for yourself, see what stories you\u2019ll come back with.<\/p>\n<p>In the Ngorogoro Crater you\u2019ll get the chance to spot the cast of <em>The Lion King<\/em> in their natural habitat. And Tanzania isn\u2019t one to do anything by halves\u00a0\u2013 the crater is the world\u2019s largest unflooded caldera. Being the remnants of an exploded volcano, it is seriously fertile landscape, so prepare for wildlife in abundance.<\/p>\n<p>Over dinner you\u2019ll debate what is more beautiful \u2013 an elephant or a giraffe? What is scarier \u2013 a lion or a hippo? This phrase gets thrown around a lot but trust me, a safari in Tanzania is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/on-safari-in-ngorongoro-crater\/\"><strong>READ MORE:\u00a0WHAT IT\u2019S LIKE TO SAFARI IN THE NGORONGORO CRATER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Climb the tallest mountain in Africa: Kilimanjaro<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22444 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tanzania_kilimanjaro_getting_high.jpg\" alt=\"Tanzania Kilimanjaro hiking\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tanzania_kilimanjaro_getting_high.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tanzania_kilimanjaro_getting_high-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tanzania_kilimanjaro_getting_high-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tanzania_kilimanjaro_getting_high-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><span style=\"font-family: 'PT Serif', serif;\">For some, the idea of pushing your body to its absolute extreme, reaching the point of exhaustion and pushing on further, while battling with every element and the threat of altitude sickness, isn\u2019t number one on the list.
