Tanzania

Tanzania

Africa's highest peak and the world's tallest free-standing mountain — a dormant volcano rising 5,895 metres from the Tanzanian plains, climbable without technical gear but demanding enough to humble anyone who underestimates it.

The smell hits first — cloves and cardamom and something faintly rotten from the fish market two streets over. Stone Town's alleyways are so narrow that laundry from opposing windows nearly touches overhead, and the carved wooden doors are so ornate they look like they belong in a museum. Outside the old city, the Indian Ocean is warm enough to feel like a bath and shallow enough to walk out fifty metres.

One of Africa's greatest wildlife sanctuaries, the Serengeti is home to the world's largest terrestrial mammal migration. Over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras thunder across the plains each year in a dramatic cycle of life.
