Fall in love with this majestic country

Situated on Africa’s east coast, Tanzania is a popular destination for travellers from around the globe. Explore the wildlife, climb mount Kilimanjaro, or relax on beautiful sandy beaches in this unique destination.​

​From Wildlife Safaris to sandy beaches and history-filled ruins, Tanzania has everything anyone would want in a perfect exotic holiday.

Above all, experience the hospitality of the local people while they welcome you into their unique culture and traditions. Visit the capital, Dar Es Salaam, one of the most relaxed cities you will have seen and don’t miss the island of Zanzibar, only a short ferry ride away.

Adventure

Aside from a delightfully welcoming atmosphere, Tanzania is also well known for its wildlife safaris and majestic natural settings that would tempt any explorer. Mount Kilimanjaro beckons visitors with its graceful, forested flanks rising up to an impressive snow-capped summit. It is the world’s highest free-standing mountain and Africa’s highest peak, at 5,895 meters above sea level. It is home to three volcanic cones, Kibo, Mawenzi and Shira, but has been dormant for many years, so a sudden eruption is nothing to fear.

Climbers venture up Kilimanjaro by the thousands to challenge themselves on its rocky trails and muddy, slippery slopes, only to be rewarded with the thrill of standing at the top of Africa. The view from the peak is truly breathtaking, especially at dawn as the first rays of sun illuminate the plains below.

Mount Meru is the country’s second highest mountain and is also considered the fourth highest mountain in all of Africa. It is an active stratovolcano located 70 kilometres west of Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania's Arusha National Park, and is visible from Mt Kilimanjaro on a clear day. Check out the numerous choices of trekking and hiking tours available in both Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru.

If you seek more adventure, or simply are not the climbing type, experience the wildlife in the land of safaris. Witness wildebeests stampede across the plains, elephants wandering along seasonal migration routes, chimpanzees swinging through treetops, and hippos enjoying their mud-baths in muddy waterways. Hold your breath while lions casually walk in front of your vehicle in Ngorongoro Crater, and observe waterbirds while they peck the shallow shores around Rubondo island.

You can even take a boat safari down the Rufiji River, and sail past lurking crocodiles in Selous Game Reserve in South Tanzania, one of the largest faunal reserves in the world. If you have always wanted to experience the thrill of a safari you are guaranteed endless choices all around Tanzania.

Relax

Tanzania’s Indian Ocean coastline is the ideal place to relax on beautiful sandy beaches while sipping a refreshing cocktail. Enjoy the colourful pastel sunrise, immerse yourself in tranquil coastal rhythms, or sit beneath billowing sails on a wooden dhow while you tour. Along the shores you can observe sleepy villages, steeped in centuries of Swahili culture, and travel back in time to the days when the East African coast was the sear for sultans and an integral part of a trading network extending to Persia, India and beyond.
