A plethora of iconic wildlife, mountains, beaches, and cultural experiences set against stunning natural beauty
Tanzania is an East African country with incredible scenery and landscapes famous for the annual Great Migration. Home to the world-famous Serengeti; the massive Selous Game Reserve that is one of the largest protected areas in Africa; and majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, which is the highest mountain in Africa; Tanzania is a nature enthusiast's dream. Tropical beaches and islands like Zanzibar and Mafia along the coastline are perfect for relaxation, with colourful reefs and glassy waters great for scuba diving or snorkelling. A tour of the Ngorongoro Crater is a must-visit for keen photographers and wildlife enthusiasts. Tanzania's culture is incredibly diverse, offering unique insights into the country's many tribes and traditional experiences. Visitors can also explore some of Africa's oldest historical sites, including stone age settlements, cave paintings, and temples.

Best time to go to
For wildlife and safari enthusiasts, the dry season of late June to October is the ideal time to visit Tanzania. During this time, the Great Migration takes place and wildlife is most active, congregating around water sources, which makes them easier to spot. This is also the best time to hike Mt Kilimanjaro, when the skies are clear and the weather is cool and dry. For birders, summertime between November and March is a fantastic time to look out for migratory birds. Tanzania’s beaches are idyllic year-round.
