Tanzania

Home to the Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar - where Africa's greatest wonders converge

Tanzania Safari

Africa's Crown Jewel of Wildlife

Tanzania is a land of superlatives: the highest mountain in Africa, the largest game reserve on the continent, the world's most famous wildlife migration, and some of the most pristine beaches in the Indian Ocean. It is the ultimate African destination.

The Serengeti ecosystem hosts the Great Migration, where over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle traverse the plains in an ancient cycle of life. Beyond the savanna, the Ngorongoro Crater offers an enclosed wildlife paradise unlike anywhere else on Earth.

From summiting Mount Kilimanjaro to relaxing on Zanzibar's spice-scented shores, Tanzania offers extraordinary diversity. The warmth of Swahili culture, with its tradition of "Karibu" (welcome), makes every visitor feel at home in this remarkable country.

💰

Budget for Safari

Safari costs vary greatly. Budget options start at $150/day; mid-range runs $300-500/day. Book through reputable operators and compare inclusions carefully.

👕

Pack Neutral Colors

Wear khaki, olive, and tan for safari. Avoid bright colors that can disturb wildlife. Bring layers as mornings and evenings can be surprisingly cool.

📷

Camera Equipment

Bring a telephoto lens (200-400mm) for wildlife photography. Extra batteries and memory cards are essential as charging opportunities may be limited on safari.

💵

Carry US Dollars

US dollars are widely accepted for tourism services. Bring bills printed after 2006 as older notes are often refused. ATMs available in major towns.

🌍

Respect Local Culture

Ask permission before photographing people. Learn basic Swahili greetings like "Jambo" and "Asante." Dress modestly in towns, especially on Zanzibar.
