GO TO TANZANIA REASON 1
Unique Parks, Nature Reserves, and Massive Wilderness Areas
With more than 25% of its total landmass set aside as protected areas—the only country in the world to achieve that—Tanzania is one of the most diverse, beautiful, and welcoming destinations on the planet.
From the massive wilderness to marine parks, the unspoiled beauty of the south to some of the world’s natural wonders in the north, from the greatest range of birdwatching sites to the well-preserved forests and pristine beaches.
In addition to its vast protection system, Tanzania demonstrates its commitment to preserving the world’s rich natural heritage by having a ministry specifically for natural resources and tourism. The ministry coordinates the efforts of various government organizations such as Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA), Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority (TAWA), Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA), and Tanzania Forest Services Agency (TFS), to mention but a few. These organizations protect natural resources and tourists visiting the attractions while improving the quality of life for the people in Tanzania.
So if wilderness is what your wanderlust is satisfied by, Tanzania has it all.

The Largest National Park on the African Continent
Christened for the nation’s founding father, Nyerere National Park is Africa’s largest national park. It is located in Southern Tanzania, alongside other pristine national parks such as Ruaha, Mikumi, Udzungwa, and Kitulo. Your safari to Nyerere National Park will take you through some of the few unspoiled places left on Earth.
So how big is the biggest Nyerere National Park? The size of Belgium.
And that’s when you come in because exploring a national park as big as Belgium is synonymous with viewing an unbelievable amount of wildlife. It also means you’ve countless exciting things to see and do, including the great Rufiji River and its designated photographic zone.

The Serengeti World Wonder
The Serengeti World consists of endless plains of breathtaking wonders. Here, one can see the multitude of wildebeests migrating like a giant river flowing at the peak of the rainy season. Zebras, gazelles, and other ungulates usually join the great migration, allowing us to witness millions of animals marching together in unison. Not surprisingly, scientists described this phenomenon as the “Greatest Natural Spectacle on Earth.”
Alongside this river of migrating herbivores are hungry predators stalking, killing, and eating. Add to this wild caravan scavengers who come to feast on the leftovers or dead animals.
Notice that the triangular migration route is not limited to Serengeti National Park. It also includes some areas of Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Victoria in the west, and as far as Kenya’s Masai Mara, making the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem a must-visit.
Another phenomenon of breathtaking is the calving season. A synchronized birth-giving event that lasts for three weeks, adding more members to the migrating population.
If wild wonders are what you are after, Serengeti has some of the most popular safari adventures in the world. But don’t end your journey here. Challenge yourself by climbing the majestic Kilimanjaro.

The Highest Free-standing Mountain in the World
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is the universal dream. People from all walks of life have always dreamed of visiting Tanzania to fulfill the Kilimanjaro dream. It’s not surprising. Kilimanjaro is the snow-capped Roof of Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
Ascending to the peak will take you through different ecological climate zones. Each zone is unique in its way, allowing climbers to view different types of attractions before reaching the summit.
Trekking up is the same as trying to conquer the tallest natural feature on the continent. This challenge adds a trophy-like element to the Uhuru peak at 5,895m. And reaching it is more than physical achievement. Knowing that you’ve reached the world’s highest walkable summit creates the feeling of invincibility. This heroic safari is usually immortalized in the climber’s certificate, indicating the highest peak you reached.
Words of mouth cannot describe how beautiful Kilimanjaro trekking is. What can you say about the trinity of its volcanic cones? It is no surprise that UNESCO inscribed Mount Kilimanjaro on the list of World Heritage Sites.

A Wild Adventure and Oceanic Paradise Rolled Into One Park
The most distinguishing feature of the 22 parks in Tanzania is this: one visit doesn’t fit all. Each park has unique offerings. And Saadani National Park is a critical example.
Saadani is the only national park in the country where one can enjoy safari, sun, sea, and sand wrapped into one package. This combination of wildlife-related adventures with watersports and stunning beaches along the coast of the Indian Ocean makes Saadani a paradise like no other.
The paradise for couples in search of a romantic nest. Honeymooners who want to celebrate their marriage Eden-style. Married partners who are looking into ways of invigorating their romances or best ideas to celebrate anniversaries. And, of course, for everyone who wants relaxation.
And where the river flows into the sea, there is an attractive estuary, bridging mainland Swahili with marine life in the truest sense of African charms.
The park also harbors the Wami River, into which you can cruise closer to the group of hippos or view crocodiles on the riverbank.

GO TO TANZANIA REASON 6
Gateway Cities and Town Attractions
Imagine you meet a person whose lineage is a mixture of Arabic, Indian, Portuguese, British, German, Swahili, and African indigenous tribes. That’s the feeling you get once you visit most of the towns here. These towns are as old as the narratives they tell. Tourists arriving in this country of contrasts are invited to explore a rare combination of Swahili landmarks, antique architecture, cultures, customs, and histories.
But don’t treat them as mere gateways to national parks. Each of these towns is a destination in its own right. Take time to explore street food culture in Stone Town of Zanzibar. Day trips are very common in Arusha city. Bagamoyo town serves as a recorded live stream of human history during the slave trade era. Take a photo of yourself with the rocky landmarks of Mwanza city in the background.
Because it hosts people from almost all the regions of Tanzania and neighboring countries, the bustling and cosmopolitan Dar es laam City offers a vivid picture of the day-to-day life of the people in East Africa.
When you’re finished with white sand beaches in coastal towns like Kilwa Kisiwani or Mikindani, visit Matema Beach Town as you explore the green city of Mbeya. And while you’re still in Southern Tanzania, celebrate the blending of culturally rich heritage and historical sites in Iringa town.

Pristine Beaches, Swahili Coastal Culture, and Zanzibar Islands
Having the Indian Ocean as part of its territory, Tanzania is home to some of the most spectacular beaches in the world.
From Zanzibar islands hosting the white sand beaches of Nungwi and Jambiani to numerous stunning beaches located in the Swahili coastal towns, Tanzania provides the opportunity to experience beach holidays, safari adventures, and cultural experiences – a rare beautiful combination indeed.
Visitors to Tanzania have a wide range of beach activities to choose from. Countries whose beach area is limited in size are usually too expensive and virtually inaccessible to budget-conscious travelers. But in Tanzania, there are both private and public beaches. This is the country that allows everyone to enjoy beach life with little or no budget at all.
If swimming or sunbathing is what you are after, you’ve come to the right place because water is generally never freezing here. The skies are often sunny and free from mist. This sets the tropical Tanzania coastline apart.
There are many other beaches found in various countries of Southern Africa. However, some of their beaches won’t guarantee year-round swimming as seawater can get too cold or freezing due to the cold Atlantic Ocean currents.
You can also find untouched beauty along Tanzania’s coastline as part of it has been preserved in Saadani National Park and two marine reserves — one in Dar es Laam City and another in Mafia Island. Need another reason to visit Tanzania?

Tanzania’s Stunning Lakes
Moving outside the Tanzanian coast to the hinterland, the visitor will be struck by the sight of numerous bodies that appear like oceans. Don’t be mistaken. These sea-like masterpieces are lakes, lying mainly or wholly in Tanzania.
Number one is Lake Tanganyika, the longest freshwater lake in the world.
It is said that 75 of every 100 Lesser flamingos were born at Lake Natron.
To see tree-climbing lions and huge concentrations of elephants at close range, visit Lake Manyara, and you’ll know why the “soda lake” is protected within Tanzania’s national park system.
In addition to housing an intriguing array of wildlife, Lake Nyasa located on Tanzania’s border with Malawi and Mozambique, beckons intrepid travelers for freshwater swimming, diving, and snorkeling. Plus, exploring the rich culture of lakeshore communities.
From Lake Chala in the north to Lake Ngosi down south, exploring Tanzanian lake tourism is rewarding. But you’ve just scratched the surface because there is much more to do and see in Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa and the biggest of all tropical lakes on earth.

Beautiful National Parks Inside the Largest Lake in Africa
Known for their pristine beauty and evergreen tropical forests, Rubondo and Saanane are the only two island national parks found in Lake Victoria. Besides sharing the reputation of untouched natural beauty, each island park has a flavor of its own.
Visiting these paradise islands provide opportunities to enjoy many unique activities in the vast Lake Victoria, such as sport fishing and boat cruising. You will also know the exhilaration of sharing beautiful beaches with wildlife.
As the need to escape the noisy world we live in increases, a trip to Lake Victoria’s island parks is synonymous with visiting another planet, away from the distractions of modern life.
From bush picnics to contemplative meditations, Rubondo and Saanane Island National Parks form a bridge that helps humanity restore its lost connection with the natural world.

Ngorongoro Crater, The Eden of Africa
Besides having 22 national parks, two marine parks, and more than 70 places protected in one form of wildlife sanctuary or another, Tanzania is also home to the famous Ngorongoro. It is a Maasai cultural destination and a safari dream come true.
This area boasts the ancient volcanic caldera, famously known as Ngorongoro Crater. With excavated evidence of early life and geological discoveries that are believed to be nearly 4 million years old, visitors to Ngorongoro can get a glimpse of the past.
Ngorongoro Crater is an important part of the Great Wildebeest Migration. And you can explore it in combination with other major attractions in Northern Tanzania, including Lake Manyara National Park.

The People of Tanzania and Their Legendary Hospitality
Tanzania is home to a diversity of people. With a population of more than 61 million, the country is regarded as the melting pot of cultures, communities, histories, and experiences.
Although Tanzania has more than 120 ethnic groups, Kiswahili is the national language, and English is officially used.
It is the custom for Tanzanian people to live in harmony, despite their cultural or religious differences. To many countries, a society like this is only a dream.
While the Maasai community is internationally famous, Tanzania has other tribes who have preserved most of their traditional lifestyle and culture. Often confused with the Maasai is another pastoral community called the Mang’ati. The hunter-gatherer Hadzabe is a quintessence of the earliest natives. The Sandawe, with their unique language that uses clicks, is another indigenous tribe worth exploring. The Barabaig deserves the attention of anyone interested in experiencing Tanzania from a cultural angle. And the list goes on.
Many tribes in Tanzania have a longstanding history. A good example is the pre-colonial Hehe State and their legendary Chief (Mtwa) Mkwawa, whose heroic story has been used to define the African standards of patriotism until this date.
Although Tanzania is internationally known for its massive wilderness, it is the people who make visitors enchanted. From cultural experiences to handmade souvenirs, a visitor can cherish the memory of every second spent with the Tanzanian people.

Historical Heritage Sites in Tanzania
Historic building in Iringa Town serving as a regional museum
Tanzania is historically rich. It’s like a book with many chapters. One can read these historical chapters in diverse ways, and page number one is, undoubtedly, the traditional tribes of Tanzania.
Diverse as history itself, Tanzania’s ethnic groups provide a glimpse of life before the arrival of foreign communities. By observing these tribal communities closely, one can see a hunter-gatherer, a pastoralist, and a Bantu-speaking individual living in this land, as it was thousands of years ago.
Take the time to explore famous historical towns such as Kilwa Kisiwani, Stone Town of Zanzibar, Mikindani, Bagamoyo, and Iringa as you move further to Southern Tanzania, the hub of Majimaji Wars —one of the biggest African movements against colonial invasions in history. These historical sites not only give cultural insights into the original people of Tanzania; but describe the mixture of Swahili civilization with the cultures from Arabia, Persia, Portugal, Germany, the United Kingdom, and other foreign influences of the past. This multicultural blending reflects the current society.
Tanzania’s rich history can also be discovered in museums, monuments, buildings, and artifacts, some of which are as important to the local people as to the world heritage.

The Cradle of Mankind in Tanzania
Famous researchers such as Dr. Louis Leakey unearthed archeological discoveries that recognize Tanzania as a place where early humans lived.
Located in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area near Serengeti Plains, Olduvai Gorge is famously known as the “Cradle of Mankind” due to the excavation of an early hominin skull estimated to be 1.4 million years old, hunting weapons, fossilized bones, and other ancient tools.
Another paleontological site in the area is called Laetoli, revealing human footprints aged about 3.6 million years. But don’t limit your search of human origin to Ngorongoro.
Move to the south of Tanzania and explore another gorge called Isimila Historical Site. Located just 21 km from Iringa town, Isimila reveals a stone technology, which, according to its design, offers vivid evidence of the past.
In addition to explaining human evolution, Isimila Stone Age Site has fossils indicating species of animals our planet lost through extinction. A visit to Isimila Gorge, therefore, gives the humanity that dwells inside all of us what we call: A Path To Return Home After Being Away For Millions Of Years.

Natural Pillars, Caves, and Rocks in Tanzania (Often Associated With Traditional Beliefs)
Did you see how Isimila stone technology provides a logical series of evidence of human evolution and world formation? There’s more.
Inside this canyon are spectacular sandstone towers referred to as Isimila Natural Pillars. Defined by the dramatic landscapes of Southern Tanzania, Isimila Valley beckons a visitor to get into and walk around. Watch birds as they fly between trees and eroded sandstone towers. Finish your round-trip in the historical gorge by enjoying a takeaway meal at the designated picnic area.
While in the mountainous town of Iringa, visit Gangilonga Speaking Stone and Igeleke Rock Drawing. Consider this rock tour as a trailer for your journey to the Kondoa Rock Art Site in the nearby region.
Formed about 150 million years ago, Amboni Caves in the Tanga region is another place to explore Tanzania beyond wild adventures. To the local people, however, Amboni is not just a home of caves. Spiritual beliefs and legends are attached to the legendary caves. This is not an uncommon connection. We see this in almost all the caves and rocks of Tanzania. The result is a tourism destination guaranteed to offer unique experiences.

Tanzania Trekking and Outdoor Activities
Bushwalking path
Known as the “Roof of Africa” and one of the world’s Seven Summits, Kilimanjaro is the favorite destination of mountain lovers everywhere. It is, without a doubt, one of the top reasons for people to visit Tanzania. However, hidden by the popularity of Kilimanjaro is an unbelievable amount of trekking opportunities.
From Mount Meru to Oldoinyo Lengai, best known among the locals as the Mountain of God, there are countless routes to hike. While still in the north, test your fitness on Mount Hanang as well as Mount Longido. Then, move to the Livingstone Mountains in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania. And enjoy plenty of hikes throughout the country because…
Tanzania is home to the chain of 12 ancient mountains, collectively known as the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania. Rich in rainforests and unique biodiversity, the Arc Mountains boast amazing trekking destinations – including Udzungwa Mountains National Park, Amani Nature Reserve in the Usambara Mountains, and the Uluguru Mountains in Morogoro. From here, the ranges stretch further to Iringa and Dodoma regions.
With so many mountains and forests, there are countless outdoor activities in Tanzania for both professional hikers and rookies.
Best of all, Tanzanian Trekking can be combined with wildlife viewing, cultural tours, and chimpanzee tracking, as many people do in the Mahale Mountains. Other trekking routes lead to beautiful waterfalls, allowing hikers to rest, regain energy, and even swim.

Wonderful Waterfalls in Tanzania
Tanzania is endowed with many beautiful waterfalls. Need proof?
Move southwest of Tanzania at the border with Zambia, and you will find the Kalambo Falls, the second largest in Africa. And so are Sanje Falls in Udzungwa National Park.
Harboring a dozen ranges covered by rainforests, one can be sure to find more waterfalls in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania.
While most of Tanzania’s waterfalls are stand-alone attractions with plenty of exciting activities, hiking to reach them can make your experience even more rounded.

As Isimila Stone Age Site and Olduvai Gorge reveal that early humans lived in Tanzania, one shouldn’t go very far to find the beauty of Eden. But this is not a biblical legend. It is a real garden of beautiful wildflowers called Kitulo National Park, best known in the local area as the Garden of God.
This spectacularly beautiful plateau can be explored in combination with the Mbozi Meteorite. Believed to have crashed to earth centuries ago, this natural monument of iron and nickel is measured in tonnes and is considered one of the largest meteorites worldwide.
Other popular destinations in Southern Tanzania include the Livingstone Mountains and the picturesque Matema Beach in Lake Nyasa.

Visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites Found in Tanzania
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has a convention that designates places having outstanding value to humanity as World Heritage Sites.
There are seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Tanzania. Three are cultural, three natural wonders, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area is the only place in Tanzania listed in the category of mixed heritage sites.
From the Kondoa Rock Art Site to the Stone Town of Zanzibar, the Ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara to Serengeti Plains, Selous Game Reserve, and Kilimanjaro, Tanzania offers rich heritage to celebrate. This number might increase soon as more Tanzanian attractions have been added to the tentative list.

Tanzania Tourism Circuits: Awe-inspiringly Vast Areas
Tanzania’s tourism destination is divided into four geographical zones called circuits. This includes Southern Tanzania, Northern Tanzania, Eastern Tanzania (including Zanzibar), and Western Tanzania. Each circuit is unique in its own right and harbors multiple unparalleled travel products, examples of which are found nowhere else on Earth.
Tanzania’s tourism circuits are spectacularly massive. Southern Tanzania, for instance, hosts some of the largest wildlife areas on the continent, including the two famous national parks — Nyerere and Ruaha. These national parks are equal in size to Belgium and Israel respectively. And this is just one circuit, you can imagine how vast Tanzania’s tourism system is.

These national parks are equal in size to Belgium and Israel respectively. And this is just one circuit, you can imagine how vast Tanzania’s tourism system is.
From the top Roof of Africa to the longest freshwater lake on earth, the world’s largest caldera to the second largest waterfalls in Africa, the most extensive limestone cave in East Africa to the largest lake in Africa and the largest national park in Africa, and also the largest intact animal migration remaining in the world, which is regarded as the greatest natural wildlife spectacle on earth. All these extraordinarily incredibly massive attractions are found in one country: Tanzania, the unforgettable.
So, if you visited the birthplace of mankind at Olduvai Gorge in the Northern Circuit, think of it as the cradle of Tanzanian exploration. But there is more to explore in each of the four tourist circuits. And the people are genuinely welcoming.
NOTE: While visitors to Tanzania can access all lakes mentioned above, the country shares the lakes that are found on its borders with Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zambia.
