TanzaniaTravel Guide
Tanzania travel guide
Tanzania has benefited from being overlooked by its northern neighbor. Here, tourism has grown more subtly, intelligently, with fewer budget-friendly packages and more individualized experiences. It’s more dependable and relaxed, and big enough to keep some corners well covered. However, its top attractions are anything but understated: Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, the Maasai, Zanzibar, the Big Five, and of course, the Great Migration, which travels year-round over the northern plains.
The fiendishly delicious fusion of Arabic, Swahili, and Indian cuisine; the eye-opening bushwalk with a Maasai guide; the chance to see an endangered wild dog in the remote south; the silhouette of a dhow at sunset—these are often the smaller details that stick in the memory rather than the big names. Our Tanzania travel guide will leave no doubt as to why this country has drawn tourists for centuries and will continue to do so in the years to come.
Tanzania's Top rated Activities & Destinations
The Serengeti almost never requires an introduction; it’s the kind of location where you’ll catch yourself humming Toto’s “Africa.” The savannah, traversed by a million wildebeest during the largest migration in human history with zebras and gazelles in tow, is the stuff of African legend. On its 15,000 km2 of land, Tanzania’s oldest park offers space for resorts and camps to suit every taste, as well as Big Five game drives, walking safaris, and even bikers.
The thought of millions of animals stampeding through the boundless vistas of East Africa is the greatest voyage of all. Although the Mara River crossing is the main attraction, wildebeest and other animals of the plains migrate in a spiraling circuit around the Serengeti, so your guide should be able to spot them at any time of year.
A camping safari places you in the heart of the bush as a transient visitor in the habitat of the African wildlife, making it the best way to experience Africa. You’ll fall asleep under the southern sky’s stars while being surrounded by the unusual savannah sounds and fragrances. Temporary campers provide a feeling of freedom and a true wilderness experience, whereas permanent campgrounds provide more comfort and amenities.
With its fascinating fusion of Middle Eastern, Indian, and Swahili culture and food, spice tours, and dhows carried by the tradewinds, Zanzibar, also known as Unguja, epitomizes the concept of the “strange.” Visit the UNESCO-listed Stone Town’s passageways before relocating to a peaceful resort that is bordered by white beaches and the azure Indian Ocean.
Tanzania is a master of extreme luxury, with two of its lodges ranking among the top ten most costly hotels in the world. Although comfort is important while on safari, zebra skin carpets, infinity pools, and grand pianos (yes, really) won’t help you experience Tanzania any better or increase the likelihood that you’ll encounter animals.
