Tanzania offers a wealth of natural beauty and captivating wildlife, providing a remarkable backdrop for those seeking the ultimate safari experience. From the soaring peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro to the pristine beaches of Zanzibar, this East African gem showcases diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife, making it a must-visit for any adventurous traveller.

Must-sees:

• Serengeti National Park: Famous for the Great Migration, this park provides one of the most iconic wildlife experiences.
• Ngorongoro Crater: A UNESCO World Heritage site, it is a natural wonder, home to a rich ecosystem and diverse species.
• Tarangire National Park: Known for its stunning baobab trees and elephant herds, this lesser-known gem is a peaceful retreat from the more crowded parks.

Culinary culture:

Tanzanian cuisine reflects the country’s diverse heritage, blending African, Indian, and Arab influences. Ugali, a staple made from maize, is often served with rich stews or grilled fish from the Indian Ocean. Street food such as samosas and mandazi (sweet fried dough) offer delightful local snacks. The coastal areas offer fresh seafood, with spicy coconut dishes adding an exotic twist to the flavours.

Dive deeper:

Beyond the safari, immerse yourself in Tanzanian culture. The Zanzibar Archipelago is renowned for its history, where influences from Arab, Indian, and Portuguese settlers can be explored in the narrow streets of Stone Town. The island is also famed for its spice plantations, which offer guided tours where you can learn about the island’s aromatic produce. The Maasai people, one of Tanzania’s indigenous tribes, offer an authentic cultural experience, with their traditional dances, crafts, and vibrant attire.

Good to know:

The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is the local currency, though US dollars are widely accepted. The best time to visit is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife sightings are at their peak. Zanzibar is a year-round destination, but the coastal areas may see more rain during the long rains (March to May). Flights to Tanzania typically land at Dar es Salaam or Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO).
