Holiday ideas in Tanzania

Holiday ideas in Tanzania

If the fundraising antics of Ferne Cotton, Chris Moyles and Cheryl Cole have inspired travellers to go to Tanzania and experience the magic of Mount Kilimanjaro than First Choice have got the break for you.

Mount Kilimanjaro - or Kili as it is affectionately known - is one of those must see sights before in the world; its steep slopes rising out of the ground out of nowhere leading up to a table top peak covered in snow.

However the area surrounding it offers more than just great views of the mountain, with some of the best game parks in the world for spotting wildlife as well as picture perfect, tropical beaches to relax on.

For the holiday of a lifetime why not take a seven day safari tour around Tanzania followed by a week's break on the Kenyan coast?

The Tanzania Safari takes you to four different national parks including the Serengeti, Tarangire and the extraordinary Ngorongoro Crater, a national park within a dormant volcanic crater.

After seven days discovering the highlights of Tanzania - while guests will not be quite as exhausted as the celebrities climbing Kili - they will still be in need of some serious beach time!

First Choice offers a seven night safari in Tanzania, staying full-board, followed by a seven night stay at the four star Sun Voyager Resort, staying all-inclusive from £1,579 per person.

This price is based on two sharing departing from London Gatwick on the May 11th.
