The white snow on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, is melting at an astonishing speed. Perhaps in the near future, the spectacle of the "Equatorial Snow Mountain" will forever become history. At the same time, on the Serengeti grassland beneath its feet, the most spectacular life migration on Earth continues to repeat itself. This is Tanzania, a country with three ultimate landscapes of animals, snow capped mountains, and islands. The landing permit can be left as soon as possible, and those beautiful scenery are no longer waiting for anyone.

The Epic of Life in Serengeti

Imagine a national park with an area even larger than Beijing, which is the ultimate paradise for wildlife. Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, connected to Kenya's Maasai Mara, constitutes the most famous ecosystem on Earth.

Every year, a migration army consisting of over 1.5 million zebras, 250000 zebras, and 300000 gazelles embark on a thousands of kilometers long "Long March of Life" on this land in pursuit of water sources and green grass. The density of lions here is arguably the highest in Africa, and you can observe their hunting and resting regal demeanor up close in a safe off-road vehicle. This is the filming location of 'Animal World', the Africa of countless people's dreams.

The 'Apocalypse' Wonder of Kilimanjaro

Near the equator, there stands a snow mountain with an altitude of 5895 meters - Mount Kilimanjaro. The summit of this dormant volcano is covered with ice and snow all year round, forming the breathtaking natural wonder of the "Equatorial Snow Mountain". However, due to global climate change, the glaciers on mountaintops are receding at a rate of about 1% per year, leaving us with very little time to witness this miracle.

From tropical rainforests to alpine deserts, from mountain foothills to mountaintops, in just a few days, you can experience a complete vertical ecosystem from the equator to the poles. For mountaineering enthusiasts, this is the world's highest independent mountain peak that can stand freely, and it is the ultimate goal of challenging oneself.

The dreamy island of Zanzibar

Farewell to grasslands and snow capped mountains, sailing eastward, the pearl of the Indian Ocean - Zanzibar Island, is emitting a charming exotic charm. This archipelago, consisting of Wengujia Island and Pemba Island, is the location of the World Heritage Site "Stone City".

Strolling through the narrow and winding alleys of Stone City, it feels like traveling back to the era when spice trade and slave trade intertwined. The air is filled with the fragrance of lilacs and cinnamon, and the ancient Arabic style buildings complement the ruins of the colonial period. And when you step out of the ancient city, you will be greeted by endless white beaches and crystal clear blue waters, making it a paradise for diving enthusiasts.

African flavor captured by hand

In Tanzania, eating is a ritualistic experience. The most common staple food is Ugali, a white paste food made of corn flour. You need to break a small piece with your hand and scoop out stew, sauce or roast meat like a spoon. Paired with fresh tomato and onion salad Kachambari, or soft and sweet boiled banana, an authentic African feast is presented before your eyes.

“Hakuna Matata”， This greeting comes from Swahili and means' let go of worries and live in the present moment '. This is the philosophy of life in Tanzania. Here, you will be infected by the calm and unhurried nature of 'African time', learning to slow down, appreciate the blooming of a flower, listen to the shock of a lion roar, and feel a sincere smile with a stranger.

Don't hesitate anymore, pick up your passport and set foot on this magical land. Chasing migrating horned horses in Serengeti, touching disappearing snow in Kilimanjaro, and searching for memories of spices in Zanzibar. Because some scenery, once missed, really disappears,Editor/Bian Wenjun
