Discover Tanzania

About Tanzania

Tanzania is one of the most impressive safari destinations in East Africa. With its culture-rich atmosphere, spectacular natural attractions, and an abundance of things to do, you’ll need a lifetime to explore everything the country has to offer.

It’s home to some of Africa’s most famous national parks and boasts an unmatched safari circuit. Split up into four sections (north, south, east, west); you could spend your entire vacation hopping from one park to the next and experience wildly different landscapes and wildlife.

But Tanzania’s appeal doesn’t stop at game viewing. Inside its borders, you’ll find the highest mountain in Africa, palm-fringed beaches of Zanzibar, the statuesque Maasai warriors, and the intriguing histories of Stone Town.

Tanzania has it all. Are you ready to experience it for yourself?

Tanzania's Natural Wonders

Take front row seats to witness the Great Migration

Over a million blue wildebeest, 200 000 zebras and a multitude of other antelope proceed on an annual circular route across the Masai Mara National Reserve and Serengeti, in search of grazing. Witness the life and death struggle for survival as the surging herd must cross swollen rivers and outrun the predators that their unmissable presence attracts. This is an African safari experience par excellence.

Go on a wildlife safari year round to see the Big 5 and other animals

Tanzania is renowned as one of the world’s premier safari destinations, offering an incredible array of wildlife and diverse landscapes that make it a dream come true for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. A Tanzania safari promises thrilling encounters with Africa’s iconic wildlife, breathtaking vistas, and an immersive experience into the heart of the wilderness.

Dip in the waters of Zanzibar

Zanzibar, officially known as the Zanzibar Archipelago, is a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania located in the Indian Ocean, about 25 to 50 kilometers off the Tanzanian coast. It comprises several islands, with Unguja (commonly referred to as Zanzibar Island) and Pemba being the largest and most popular.

Day trip or reach the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro, located in northeastern Tanzania, is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world and the highest peak in Africa. Rising majestically to an elevation of 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level, Kilimanjaro is an iconic symbol of adventure and a dream destination for trekkers and climbers from around the globe.
