Tanzania holds the heavyweight names. The Serengeti runs south from the Mara across 30,000 square kilometres, and the Migration spends most of its year here before crossing into Kenya.
Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera — 260 square kilometres of grassland, forest and lake with roughly 25,000 large animals inside, including black rhino.
And Kilimanjaro: 5,895 metres, the highest free-standing mountain in the world, walkable to the summit over six to eight days with no technical climbing.
