The UK's Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, on Wednesday began a three-day visit to Tanzania as part of his mission to fight poaching and tackle illegal trade in wildlife.
A statement by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism said Prince William was visiting the east African nation as president of United for Wildlife, which fights illegal trade in wildlife, and patron of Tusk, which promotes conservation.
During his visit, Prince William will raise awareness on the Illegal Wildlife Conference to be held in London in October, said the statement.
Tanzania is home to the African elephants, rhinos and other wildlife population that are facing threats from syndicates of local as well as international poachers.
During his visit, according to the statement, the Duke will meet with President John Magufuli to discuss the president's efforts to combat illegal wildlife trade in Tanzania.
He will also visit the Dar es Salaam port and Mpingo House, offices of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, where he will learn more about the work Tanzania was doing to combat illegal wildlife trade with support from the UK Government.
Prince William will also visit Mkomazi National Park and the College of African Wildlife Management in Kilimanjaro region in northern Tanzania.

Passport, itinerary, travel insurance docs and eTickets It seems obvious, but we would be remiss if we didn't put this at the top of the list of what you must pack for your safari. 2.

When to see the Great Migration in Africa

When to see the Great Migration in Africa The annual Wildebeest Migration that takes part throughout the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystem is one of the most spectacular events on the wildlife calendar. It has been described as “the greatest show on earth”. The migration route can change from year to year as the movements depend on rainfall and grazing. So predicting when to see the Great Migration in Africa can be a tricky science. Fortunately, Bohobe Travels guides on the ground in both Tanzania and Kenya have been documenting the migration dates over the last 10 years. During that period, there have not been many instances when the Great Migration has been in the exact same location during the same dates as the year before, as this is a natural phenomenon of the wilderness and dependent on numerous seasonal factors. This means there is a lot more skill involved in booking an African migration safari than simply replicating the dates of the previous year. Below is a rou...

Top Notch Travel Activities in Tanzania

                 Balloon flights Flights by balloon take off as dawn breaks over the Serengeti, the perfect silence of the early morning plains broken only by the soft roar of the balloon. Far below, wildebeests scatter, looking everywhere but up at the silent visitor that floats over their world. After the thrill of landing , a champagne breakfast awaits, the air becoming warmer as the sun climbs in the sky and curious zebra look up from their grazing at the chink of cutlery in the still warm bush. Diving Scuba diving the coral reefs off Tanzania’s coast at Zanzibar and Mafia Island offer some of the world’s finest scuba diving. Diving is possible all year around, although the Kusi Monsoon (strongest June-Sept) is accompanied by choppy seas and strong currents that make the more exposed reefs inaccessible. There can also be strong winds in December and January. Visibility is best from...
