Breath-taking holidays in Tanzania
Tanzania is an incredible country which is home to the Big Five; the African Lion, the African Leopard, the African Elephant, the Cape Buffalo, and the Black Rhino. This is a once in a lifetime experience, and even then, some of these creatures are a little hard to see! You won’t miss an elephant, but the leopards are shyer and hide in the scrub.
One of the things Tanzania is famous for is the great wildebeest migration which takes place in the picturesque Serengeti National Park. Observe millions of wildebeest, zebra, and antelopes as they move in immeasurable numbers towards Ndutu in the Ngorongoro Conservation area.
Tanzania is also home to some of the richest mountain habitat on earth, including Africa’s highest peak, the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro. This verdant mountainous area is perfect for hikers and climbers who want to do small hikes to muti-day voyages up Tanzania’s lush peaks.
Some other things you cannot miss during your visit to tantalising Tanzania are:
- Visit Arusha, a bustling city full of charm sat in the shadow of Mount Meru. Explore the city and some of the incredible architecture in the daytime and enjoy the fun party scene in the evenings. This city is considered the gateway to safari country, as well as being the closest city to Tanzania’s fantastic mountain ranges.
- Stop off at the Masai Market, a busy market, packed full of people, noise, and colour. It's the perfect place to stop and pick up some unique souvenirs and try some of the local street food.
- Head over to the Selous Game Reserve, home to over 120,000 elephants, 160,000 buffaloes, 2000 rhinos and many hippos, wild dogs, and crocodiles. It’s one of the best and most densely populated National Parks in Tanzania.
- Take a trip to Ruaha, Tanzania's largest National Park and home to over 570 species of birds, including sunbirds, the crested barbet, and Dickinson’s kestrel - this is a true bird watchers paradise! To get a bird’s eye view of the park yourself, take a hot air balloon high above the national park and spot other wildlife, too.
- Into hiking? Why not take a trip up Mount Kilimanjaro, situated in Kilimanjaro National Park. Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa's tallest mountain standing at 5,895m above sea level. The inactive volcano consists of three cones named Kibo, Mawenzi and Shira. 0ver 750,000 people climb Mount Kilimanjaro every year for the physical challenge and the breath-taking scenery.
UNWIND ON THE ISLANDS OF ZANZIBAR
Head out from the mainland to the colourful islands of Zanzibar and spend some time unwinding on the white sandy beaches under the golden sun. Two of the best beaches in Zanzibar are Nungwi Beach and Kendwa Beach, both known for their crystal clear, warm waters, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Zanzibar’s islands are rainbow-coloured, with sapphire mangrove swamps sitting by emerald forest, turquoise seas, and silver sands. Add spectacular red sunsets and this is a visually beautiful place to be…especially with a cold cocktail in hand!
