| Tanzania has a surface area of 94.3 million ha. of which 23% has been allocated to reserves, National Parks and forest reserves. This is a country that is serious about protecting it's inheritance. The parks are operated and managed by TANAPA (Tanzanian National Parks Association) with the help of many international organisations. The Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area have been granted World Heritage Status, which shows their dedication to their wildlife. Strong measures are taken against poachers although this does not seem to deter them. Below are the attractions available: |  | | | |  Northern Zone
The Northern Circuit comprises all the well-known and oft-visited places; Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park and the lesser-known Arusha National Park. The following are brief descriptions of these key tourist attractions. |  Southern Zone
Discover Tanzania’s long-held secrets by a journey to her Southern Circuit. Most of these wildlife sanctuaries are hidden in the remote fastnesses of the African interior and, until recently, were visited by only a handful of intrepid explorers.
|  Western Zone
The very inaccessibility of the Western Parks makes them rarely visited but truly breathtaking experiences for those prepared to work for that definitive moment. Shidolya only operate tailor made safaris here. |  Beach Safari
Zanzibar consists of the main island, Ungunja, and the smaller island of Pemba. Highlights of Zanzibar – the island of spices – include fascinating old Stone Town, the red Colobus monkeys of Jozani Forest, swimming with the dolphins of Kizimkazi, the giant sea turtles of Nungwi and the seemingly endless tropical beaches of the Indian Ocean. |  Mountain Climbing
Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa at 19,340ft. This is a mountain climber's paradise - a challenging trek that includes five distinct ecological zones. Hike the steep slopes of Mount Meru, a volcanic peak which reaches 4,560m. | |
