Tanzania Travel

Tanzania is a land of extremes. Home to Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, and its deepest and largest lakes, the country has the world’s largest game reserve and one of the most spectacular natural sights in the world – the annual Great Migration.

Tanzania is the wildlife safari destination – simply put, it has it all, and you can seek out the Big Five here. With 25 percent of its land mass given over to protected areas the country is home to some of the most famous game parks in the world, including the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Selous.

Tanzania will delight any person seeking a genuine safari experience. In the south you will find the Selous Game Reserve, at the size of Switzerland it is the largest game reserve in the world, which also offers incredible wildlife viewing with sightings of the endangered African Wild Dog common, amongst other animals. While in the west of the country you will find Mahale National Park and Gombe Stream, which was made famous by Jane Goodall and her chimpanzee research.

But Tanzania has another side. After a safari, it is always great to spend some time relaxing by the sea and Tanzania again does not disappoint. With miles and miles of long white beaches and incredible coral reefs on the exotic ‘spice islands’ of Zanzibar and Pemba, you’ll get the chance to relax in your own Indian Ocean paradise and while away the days sampling delicious seafood dishes and sipping cocktails as the sun sets. It’s little wonder that this part of Tanzania is a popular destination for a honeymoon holiday.

In fact Tanzania has so much to offer and is so diverse that the only way to really get an idea is to go and explore it yourself. So whether it’s diving on coral reefs off Zanzibar and exploring the narrow alleys of historic Stone Town, or trekking up Kilimanjaro and seeking out the Big 5 on the open plains, a tour of Tanzania is sure to not disappoint even the most expectant traveller.
