Highlights Of Tanzania

Dar es Salaam

Located along the coast of the Indian Ocean, Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's largest city and travellers in the know love it for its seaside setting and laid-back vibe. "Dar” is known for its beaches, islands, seafood, music, and eclectic influences thanks to its mix of African, Arabic, and Indian cultures. It’s a magical bustling city worthy of exploration, with plenty of historical and cultural attractions to wow any type of tourist.

Serengeti National Park

Witnessing thousands of Wildebeest thundering across the vast plains of the Serengeti is a heart-stopping and once-in-a-lifetime experience, not to mention the spectacle of predators hot on their hooves and thrashing crocodile-infested river crossings. Easily accessible safari camps along the Grumeti River offer incredible opportunities to view the migration in progress or opt for a mobile tented camp, roving around to get up close to the herds for spectacular migration viewing. This classic safari option is sure to invoke all the glamour and romance of days gone by.

Mount Kilimanjaro

Climbing the legendary Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the top bucket list experiences for many intrepid travellers to Africa. Tens of thousands of climbers ascend the mountain each year to pursue the life-altering achievement of summitting Africa’s highest peak. While climbing a snow-capped volcano that happens to be the largest free-standing mountain rise in the world, is utterly awe-inspiring, there’s more to see in the Kilimanjaro region than just the mountain. Take a dip in Kikuletwa Hot Springs, discover the treasures of Moshi a pretty city boasting many hidden gems, marvel at the greater and lesser flamingos at Momela Lakes or hop on a game drive to view the abundant wildlife of Arusha National Park.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area

From the plains of the Serengeti National Park to the eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley the Ngorongoro Conservation area is comprised of a vast expanse featuring highland plains, savanna, savanna woodlands and forests. It’s also home to the spectacular Ngorogoro Crater, the world’s largest caldera which is a natural sanctuary for some of the densest populations of large mammals in Africa including the Big 5. Due to its enclosed nature, the Ngorongoro Crater has effectively formed its own ecosystem making it a hotspot to view a large concentration of wildlife.

Tanzanian Coast

If you are looking for a sun, sea and safari combo then look no further. In addition to a heavenly stretch of coastline that’s lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, the idyllic archipelago of Zanzibar lies just off the East coast of Tanzania. Also known as the Spice Islands, a beach holiday here is a popular add-on to a Tanzania safari or a Kilimanjaro trek. Picture palm-fringed powder white beaches and tropical turquoise waters perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun, snorkelling, diving, or fishing.
