Tanzania, a country blessed with diverse landscapes, rich wildlife, and vibrant cultures, offers travelers a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that’s both exhilarating and unforgettable. From the iconic plains of the Serengeti to the majestic peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, here are three compelling reasons why Tanzania should be at the top of your travel bucket list.

Safari Adventures

Tanzania is home to some of the most renowned national parks and wildlife reserves in Africa, making it a premier destination for safari enthusiasts. Embark on an exhilarating game drive in the Serengeti National Park, where the annual Great Migration sees millions of wildebeest and other animals traverse the vast plains in search of greener pastures. Witness the awe-inspiring sight of predators stalking their prey on the savannah, including lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Explore the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s largest intact volcanic calderas, where you can spot an abundance of wildlife against the backdrop of stunning scenery.

Mount Kilimanjaro

For adventure seekers and outdoor enthusiasts, a trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is the ultimate challenge and reward. As Africa’s highest peak and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to conquer its snow-capped summit and stand atop the “Roof of Africa.” Choose from a variety of trekking routes, each offering unique landscapes and challenges, from dense rainforests to alpine deserts. Marvel at the breathtaking vistas of glaciers and volcanic craters as you ascend to Uhuru Peak, the highest point on Kilimanjaro’s crater rim.

Cultural Diversity

Tanzania is a melting pot of cultures, languages, and traditions, with over 120 ethnic groups calling the country home. Experience the vibrant Maasai culture firsthand by visiting a traditional boma (village), where you can learn about their nomadic way of life, colorful beadwork, and age-old customs. Immerse yourself in the Swahili heritage of Zanzibar, a tropical island paradise known for its spice markets, white-sand beaches, and historic Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore bustling markets, sample local cuisine, and dance to the rhythm of traditional music at cultural festivals and celebrations.

You can’t go wrong with picking Tanzania as your next travel destination. This East African country offers an exciting mix of adventure, stunning sights, and culture that will result in a memorable trip. Here is why you should visit it as soon as possible.

Amazing Safari Experience

Tanzania offers arguably the best safari experience in the world. Getting close to wildlife comes easy here, and you will be able to spot all members of the Big Five – lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo – while here.

Stunning Landscapes

Tanzania will reward you with breathtaking views on your every step, ranging from stunning beaches to towering peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Opportunity for Tropical Vacation

Visit to Tanzania doesn’t have to be all about the wilderness and landscapes. You can also turn it into a tropical vacation. Tanzania’s Zanzibar archipelago is renowned as one of the best tropical destinations, offering perfect weather throughout the year and picture-perfect beaches.

Diverse Culture

Tanzania has a diverse culture that is a result of more than 120 tribes living in the same country. You’ll enjoy exploring its habits, traditions, and authentic ways of living.

Affordability

For everything that it offers, Tanzania is an extremely affordable travel destination in terms of accommodation, food, and even tourist packages. This allows you to have an amazing experience without breaking the bank.

When you are visiting a new country, you probably have an idea about the places you want to go to. However, things often get a bit more complicated when you are looking to visit a continent like Africa for the first time. With so many destinations to choose from,  zeroing in on one can be quite overwhelming. To help you out a bit, we decided to pick out the top three countries you should cross off the list first.

Egypt

Egypt is an easy choice as it offers so many different things to choose from. If you are a history nerd, then Cairo, Giza, and Alexandria are places to be. Check out the pyramids and ancient tombs, and see how human civilization evolved. But you can also get a relaxing vacation in Egypt. Simply head to Sharm El Sheikh and enjoy one of its many resorts.

Tanzania

If you want to see the natural wonders of Africa, consider Tanzania. The country’s Serengeti National Park offers one of the most impressive safari experiences in Africa, with the opportunity to see all the Big Five game animals. It is also home to Mount Kilimanjaro, the continent’s highest mountain that offers a spectacular climbing experience. 

South Africa

South Africa offers an amazing tourist experience. If you want to explore museums and enjoy cultural offerings, book a trip to Cape Town. Kruger National Park will give you an opportunity to marvel at natural beauties and diverse wildlife, while Johannesburg has a bit of everything.

It’s impossible to find an African country that doesn’t have a few stunning national parks in store and Tanzania is home to some of the very best including Tarangire National Park. This national park deserves a spot on your bucket list for more reasons than one, and here’s why you should pay it a visit.

Amazing Wildlife

Like most national parks in Tanzania, Tarangire will knock you off your feet with its diverse wildlife. It’s home to many mammal species, ranging from lions and leopards to zebras and wildebeest. There are also 550 species of birds on its grounds, and termite mounds are scattered all around it.

Diverse Flora

Flora of Tarangire is just as diverse as its fauna. If we had to pick one thing that this national park is best known for, baobab trees would make the cut, but its river valley and marshy areas are also surrounded by acacia woods and combretum woods.

Stunning Landscapes

Even if it wasn’t for its swamps and river valleys, Tarangire’s landscape would still be stunning. You can join a safari to discover everything it has in store and you’ll get to explore amazing views of the African savannah during your journey with surrounding mountains in the backdrop.

Like many other African countries, Tanzania is best known for its breathtaking natural beauty. Many of its most astonishing natural wonders are safely tucked away inside the country’s beautiful national parks, and here are three that you shouldn’t miss for the world during your visit.

Kilimanjaro National Park

Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain and Tanzania’s top tourist attraction, so it goes without saying you should visit it while in this country. It’s part of Kilimanjaro National Park, which is home to many species of wild animals, including elephants, buffalos, and leopards.

Serengeti National Park

Another national park in Tanzania that you shouldn’t miss for the world, Serengeti covers 5,700 square miles of savanna ground. It’s best known for its massive annual migration of wildebeest and zebras, in addition to being home to the largest population of lions in all of Africa. Over 500 bird species were also spotted on its grounds.

Tarangire National Park

Just like Serengeti, Tarangire is also known for the long-distance migration of wildebeest and zebras. It borrows its name from the Tarangire River that crosses the park, which serves as the main source of freshwater for wild animals inhabiting its grounds, and it will impress you with its high density of elephants and baobab trees.

If you want to explore the natural wonders that Africa has in store, Tanzania is a good place to start. Mount Kilimanjaro is the first place that comes to mind when someone mentions this country, but Tanzania is also home to many breathtaking lakes—including these three.

Lake Victoria

Africa’s largest freshwater lake is safely tucked away between Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya, and it’s the Nile River’s main source of water. It also happens to be the largest tropical lake on the planet, and it offers everything from boat rides and beaches to rich native wildlife.

Lake Manyara

Located on the grounds of Lake Manyara National Park, this shallow, alkaline lake is also one of the most picturesque in all of Tanzania. If you visit it during the wet season, you’ll spot thousands of flamingos on its shores. Manyara is also one of Tanzania’s most popular spots with cannoning lovers.

Lake Tanganyika

If you want to visit several African Great Lakes while in Tanzania, Tanganyika also deserves a spot on your bucket list. In addition to Tanzania, it also borders Congo, Burundi, and Zambia and it’s the second-deepest and the second-biggest lake in the world by volume.

As we all begin to think about what travel plans we can make after the COVID-19 pandemic ends, many of you are probably considering a big trip after being stuck at home for so long.

African safaris are a great option for this start of travel, but you might not know where to start out when planning to go on one. As a starting point, these are three countries with excellent safari options that I recommend that you consider.

Kenya

Often considered to be “the birthplace of safari travel,” Kenya is a classic pick for African exploration and one of the best options out there. The Masai Mara National Park, the home of lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, and hippos, among other animals, is the most popular region to explore.

Tanzania

There is no shortage of natural areas with wildlife to explore in Tanzania, as the western half of the country is full of game reserves and reserves like the Serengeti National Park. You will be amazed at the herds of animals like wildebeests and rhinos that can be seen here.

Botswana

South Africa, Botswana’s neighbor to the south, might be more famous for safaris, but this smaller country might be an even better option. Giraffes and hyenas abound in places like the Kalahari Game Reserve, a natural, dry grassland with normally pleasant weather and great sightlines.

Stone Town also known as Mij Mkongwe, which is Swahili for “Old Town”, is the oldest part of Zanzibar City, Tanzania. The city was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 and it’s known for its cultural heritage of Arab, Persian, Indian, and European elements. Here are five things to do while visiting the historic town.

Forodhani Gardens

The small park, found on the coast of the Indian Ocean, sits across the street from some of the town’s most famous buildings like the Arab Fort, the House of Wonders, and the Palace Museum. Each night, a food market takes place in the garden where you can sample Swahili and Zanzibari cuisine.

Darajani Bazaar

The main bazaar of the city sells groceries, meats, fish, produce, spices, and crafts. Here you’ll find souvenirs and you’ll have a really authentic East African market experience.

The Old Dispensary

Built during colonial times, this four story building has served as a charitable institution and apartments before it fell into a state of despair during the revolution. Since then, it’s been restored and it a respected cultural spot that has restaurants, shops, and offices.

Changuu Island

Also known as “Prison Island”, the island can be reached on a short-20 minute boat ride from Stone Town. You’ll see dozens of giant tortoises, many of which are over 200 years old, and the sandy white beaches and clear water are great for swimming and snorkeling.

The Arab Fort (Ngome Kongwe)

Known for its architecture and history, the building was constructed in the late 17th century. It was built on top of an even older Portuguese church as a way of defense against the occupying Portuguese forces before it was turned into a prison in the 19th century and a ladies’ tennis club before the 1964 Revolution. The amphitheater is still used today and you can catch a live performance on the 400-year-old stage.

Zanzibar consistently ranks as the home to some of the nicest beaches in the world. The island is less than 50 miles from Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania. Zanzibar has its own international airport along with boat shuttles and flights to mainland Tanzania making it easily accessible no matter where you are coming from.

Zanzibar City, the biggest city and capital is famous for its historic Stonetown. Old spice and fish markets line the streets of what used to be the stopover point of trade between the East and West. Zanzibar was also where the slave trade was centered, and the slave museum will explain the sad history behind it.

Freddie Mercury’s house from when he was a young child is also in the historic district, along with the old fort and the Sultan’s palace. Despite all the great things to do here, don’t get too caught up in the big city because the best beaches are in the North!

Nungwi is the northern part of the island with the famous white sand beaches and beautiful turquoise water. ATVing, snorkeling, fishing, and relaxing on the beach are some of the best activities here. Scuba diving courses and other water activities can keep you busy for weeks and will make you fall in love with the incredible island!

Chances are if you are in the relatively small town of Moshi, you are there for one reason: To climb Kilimanjaro. Moshi is the gateway to Africa’s tallest mountain and most tours leave from the town. However, there are plenty of ways to spend your time here before or after the long hike.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Tanzania is located just north of Moshi, close to the entrance of Kilimanjaro National Park. Materuni waterfall is over 400 feet tall and quite impressive. The trail is about 30 minutes and passes through local villages including banana and coffee plantations.

Back in the center of town, grab a beer at the Old Railway Station, an abandoned ticket booth along railroad tracks which locals turned into a bar. This is one of the best views of the mountain and what better way to experience it than with a little bit of history and a locally brewed Kilimanjaro beer!

Later on, if you are looking for a relaxing day, Kikuletwa Hot Springs is just for you. Located about an hour and a half from Moshi, this crystal clear spring is lined with acacia and fig trees. Although the water isn’t extremely hot, it has a comfortable warm temperature and is a great, peaceful place to relax.

If you want to explore the natural wonders that Africa has in store, Tanzania is a good place to start. Mount Kilimanjaro is the first place that comes to mind when someone mentions this country, but Tanzania is also home to many breathtaking lakes—including these three.

Lake Victoria

Africa’s largest freshwater lake is safely tucked away between Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya, and it’s the Nile River’s main source of water. It also happens to be the largest tropical lake on the planet, and it offers everything from boat rides and beaches to rich native wildlife.

Lake Manyara

Located on the grounds of Lake Manyara National Park, this shallow, alkaline lake is also one of the most picturesque in all of Tanzania. If you visit it during the wet season, you’ll spot thousands of flamingos on its shores. Manyara is also one of Tanzania’s most popular spots with cannoning lovers.

Lake Tanganyika

If you want to visit several African Great Lakes while in Tanzania, Tanganyika also deserves a spot on your bucket list. In addition to Tanzania, it also borders Congo, Burundi, and Zambia and it’s the second-deepest and the second-biggest lake in the world by volume.

As we all begin to think about what travel plans we can make after the COVID-19 pandemic ends, many of you are probably considering a big trip after being stuck at home for so long.

African safaris are a great option for this start of travel, but you might not know where to start out when planning to go on one. As a starting point, these are three countries with excellent safari options that I recommend that you consider.

Kenya

Often considered to be “the birthplace of safari travel,” Kenya is a classic pick for African exploration and one of the best options out there. The Masai Mara National Park, the home of lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, and hippos, among other animals, is the most popular region to explore.

Tanzania

There is no shortage of natural areas with wildlife to explore in Tanzania, as the western half of the country is full of game reserves and reserves like the Serengeti National Park. You will be amazed at the herds of animals like wildebeests and rhinos that can be seen here.

Botswana

South Africa, Botswana’s neighbor to the south, might be more famous for safaris, but this smaller country might be an even better option. Giraffes and hyenas abound in places like the Kalahari Game Reserve, a natural, dry grassland with normally pleasant weather and great sightlines.

Stone Town also known as Mij Mkongwe, which is Swahili for “Old Town”, is the oldest part of Zanzibar City, Tanzania. The city was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 and it’s known for its cultural heritage of Arab, Persian, Indian, and European elements. Here are five things to do while visiting the historic town.

Forodhani Gardens

The small park, found on the coast of the Indian Ocean, sits across the street from some of the town’s most famous buildings like the Arab Fort, the House of Wonders, and the Palace Museum. Each night, a food market takes place in the garden where you can sample Swahili and Zanzibari cuisine.

Darajani Bazaar

The main bazaar of the city sells groceries, meats, fish, produce, spices, and crafts. Here you’ll find souvenirs and you’ll have a really authentic East African market experience.

The Old Dispensary

Built during colonial times, this four story building has served as a charitable institution and apartments before it fell into a state of despair during the revolution. Since then, it’s been restored and it a respected cultural spot that has restaurants, shops, and offices.

Changuu Island

Also known as “Prison Island”, the island can be reached on a short-20 minute boat ride from Stone Town. You’ll see dozens of giant tortoises, many of which are over 200 years old, and the sandy white beaches and clear water are great for swimming and snorkeling.

The Arab Fort (Ngome Kongwe)

Known for its architecture and history, the building was constructed in the late 17th century. It was built on top of an even older Portuguese church as a way of defense against the occupying Portuguese forces before it was turned into a prison in the 19th century and a ladies’ tennis club before the 1964 Revolution. The amphitheater is still used today and you can catch a live performance on the 400-year-old stage.

Zanzibar consistently ranks as the home to some of the nicest beaches in the world. The island is less than 50 miles from Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania. Zanzibar has its own international airport along with boat shuttles and flights to mainland Tanzania making it easily accessible no matter where you are coming from.

Zanzibar City, the biggest city and capital is famous for its historic Stonetown. Old spice and fish markets line the streets of what used to be the stopover point of trade between the East and West. Zanzibar was also where the slave trade was centered, and the slave museum will explain the sad history behind it.

Freddie Mercury’s house from when he was a young child is also in the historic district, along with the old fort and the Sultan’s palace. Despite all the great things to do here, don’t get too caught up in the big city because the best beaches are in the North!

Nungwi is the northern part of the island with the famous white sand beaches and beautiful turquoise water. ATVing, snorkeling, fishing, and relaxing on the beach are some of the best activities here. Scuba diving courses and other water activities can keep you busy for weeks and will make you fall in love with the incredible island!

Chances are if you are in the relatively small town of Moshi, you are there for one reason: To climb Kilimanjaro. Moshi is the gateway to Africa’s tallest mountain and most tours leave from the town. However, there are plenty of ways to spend your time here before or after the long hike.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Tanzania is located just north of Moshi, close to the entrance of Kilimanjaro National Park. Materuni waterfall is over 400 feet tall and quite impressive. The trail is about 30 minutes and passes through local villages including banana and coffee plantations.

Back in the center of town, grab a beer at the Old Railway Station, an abandoned ticket booth along railroad tracks which locals turned into a bar. This is one of the best views of the mountain and what better way to experience it than with a little bit of history and a locally brewed Kilimanjaro beer!

Later on, if you are looking for a relaxing day, Kikuletwa Hot Springs is just for you. Located about an hour and a half from Moshi, this crystal clear spring is lined with acacia and fig trees. Although the water isn’t extremely hot, it has a comfortable warm temperature and is a great, peaceful place to relax.
