A land of contrasts, this East African country boasts vast stretches of plains and plateaus, as well as pristine beaches along its Indian Ocean coast, along with Africa’s highest mountain (Mt Kilimanjaro); the world’s largest caldera, or volcanic depression (the Ngorongoro Crater); the world’s second deepest lake (Lake Tanganyika); and the world’s second largest freshwater lake (Lake Victoria). Add to this the friendly and welcoming people, and, of course, the incredible wildlife in the numerous national parks and conservation areas throughout the country, and you have a destination that is not to be missed.
About a quarter of mainland Tanzania is made up of national parks, reserves and conservation areas, including the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation area, Kilimanjaro National Park and Selous Game Reserve, which have all been designated UNESCO World Heritage sites, making Tanzania one of the top safari destinations in Africa.
After your safari, head to the magic of the coast, relax on the beautiful beaches, and take a trip out on a traditional wooden dhow. For the perfect way to round off your trip to Tanzania, a few days on the island of Zanzibar (or Pemba, for a slightly less touristy destination), is not to be missed. On the “Spice Island” of Zanzibar, enjoy a sundowner overlooking the ocean from a rooftop bar in Stone Town; savour the rich aromas of the spices for which the island is famous; visit the daily seafood market for a taste of the local catch of the day; shop in the colourful markets; then laze on the beaches of the north coast and swim in the turquoise blue waters.
