What makes Tanzania the ultimate place to have your safari experience? The largest and most peaceful of the East African countries, over a quarter of Tanzania’s land has been set aside for national parks and conservancies. Tanzania is home to some of Africa’s richest wildlife areas, with the entirety of the Big Five and the legendary Great Wildebeest Migration both found within the country’s northern circuit.
Names such as Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro have already become synonymous with Africa, but these stunning locations are only the tip of the iceberg. Tanzania is home to more than a dozen parks and conservancies ranging from the massive Selous Game Reserve (the largest protected area in the world) to beautiful lakes such as Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika.
Beautiful Zanzibar off the country’s eastern coast is one of the most recognizable island paradises in the world, and its exotic history as a spice and slave port is matched only by the affordability of its many luxurious resorts.
Tanzania is also home to more than 120 different ethnic groups, with the Masai being perhaps the most famous tribal people in the world. With their iconic brightly colored clothing and their distinctive jumping dance, they’re known the world around for their adherence to tradition and their broad smiles. A visit to Tanzania can also include visits with the traditional Hadzabe Bushmen, who still lead a hunter-gatherer lifestyle much as they have for millennia.
With such variety in its offerings, it’s easy to see why Tanzania is the safari capital of the world. It’s perfectly equipped for all levels of tourism, while still retaining its African charm. Karibu Tanzania!
