TOURISM:
Can be defined as the act
of travel for the purpose of recreation,
and the provision of services for this
act. A tourist is someone who
travels at least eighty kilometers
(fifty miles) from home for the purpose
of recreation, as defined by the World
Tourism Organization (a United Nations
body).
A more comprehensive
definition would be that tourism is a
service industry, comprising a number of
tangible and intangible components. The
tangible elements include transport
systems - air, rail, road, water and
now, space; hospitality services -
accommodation, foods and beverages,
tours, souvenirs; and related services
such as banking, insurance and safety &
security. The intangible elements
include: rest and relaxation, culture,
escape, adventure, new and different
experiences.
MIGRATION:
The seasonal game migration across the
vast Serengeti plain remains one of the
greatest natural events in the world.
The Ngorongoro Crater (now a world
heritage site), Lake Manyara National
Park and the Serengeti together offer an
exceptional safari holiday.
KILIMANJARO:
The highest mountain in Africa is
Kilimanjaro. Its snow-capped peak
dominates the surrounding plains. A
climb takes six nights and for the more
energetic this is a lifetime experience
and an achievement not to be missed.
SAFARI:
In the Serengeti the
great migrations normally begin around
the end of May when the herds move
northwards to cross the rivers
separating Tanzania and Kenya. They
return south in late October to early
November. If you are traveling outside
these times the population of resident
game remains high.
