Tanzania is becoming an increasingly popular vacation destination due to its unique natural and cultural attractions and well-established tourism industry. Here are some reasons why Tanzania should get into you your list of desired destinations before it becomes way too crowded with other tourists.
Safari at Serengeti National Park

Striking wildlife: Tanzania is home to some of the most iconic and diverse wildlife in the world, including lions, elephants, leopards, buffalos, rhinoceroses, zebras, giraffes, and even hippos. Going on safari is a must in Tanzania. You can see these animals in their natural habitats, particularly in national parks like Serengeti, Mikumi, and Arusha.

Natural wonders: Tanzania boasts several stunning natural phenomena, such as Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, and the Serengeti, known for its annual wildebeest migration.


Beaches:  Tanzania has a long coastline along the Indian Ocean, with many beautiful beaches with fine white sands, clear turquoise waters, and coconut palms.  There are plenty of opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. You will find the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar, Mafia Island, and Pemba Island.

Cultural diversity: Tanzania is home to over 120 different ethnic groups, each with its own unique culture and traditions. You can experience this diversity by visiting cultural sites such as Stone Town in Zanzibar or attending cultural festivals like Mwaka Kogwa in Makunduchi.

Our favorite hotels are Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa - Relais & Chateaux, Zuri Zanzibar, Sunshine Bay Hotel Zanzibar, and Gran Melia Arusha.
