Considered by many to be the “true heart” of Africa, Tanzania is home to some of the most notable attractions and safaris in East Africa.
Despite its status as one of Africa’s most alluring African wildlife safari destinations, Tanzania has managed to remain surprisingly understated and low-key. From the snow-capped peak of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, to the endless plains of the Serengeti, it is a land of unimaginable natural beauty. Whether you want to explore the sun-soaked islands on one of many tours to Zanzibar or wade along the gentle shores of the Great Lakes, Tanzania is constantly presenting the visitor with new and exciting experiences.
Explore the swirling mists of the Ngorongoro crater, often called the unofficial 8th wonder of the world, or experience the greatest wildlife show on earth, the migration of the Wildebeest, Zebra and their predators through the vast Serengeti. However you choose spend your time in Tanzania, you’ll take away cherished memories of travel in Africa.
While Tanzania is mostly a year-round destination, the best time to visit Tanzania for safari is over the dry season, June to October. There are two rain periods, the “long rains” April – May and the “short rains” in November. The coast and islands of Tanzania are warm and humid throughout the year.
