Chaka Adventures - Destinations and Attractions

Tanzania attractions and destinations is one of the most diverse and enchanting countries in the world. Exotic combinations of landscapes, people, history and culture offer the traveller a unique and inspiring experience. There is the snow-capped summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and the sun-kissed beaches of Zanzibar, the vast herds of game grazing on the Serengeti plains and the slow volcanic eruption of Ol Donyo Lengai. With so much natural wealth, it’s no wonder that Tanzania has something for everyone.

Selous Game Reserve Named after legendary British explorer, Frederick Courtenay Selous, the Reserve (more than three times the size of Serengeti National Park and twice the size of Belgium ), was founded in 1905 by the colonial administration and later expanded to include the traditional elephant migration routes.

The Reserve is uninhabited and little touched by human interference. Visitors therefore will find themselves in a pristine wilderness far away from the established tourist routes. Its wildlife (including some of the last remaining black rhinoes) is spectacular, and some mammal populations (buffaloes, elephants, hippos, wild dogs, crocodiles) are the largest in Africa.
