Tanzania is well-known around the globe for its breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife, and intriguing indigenous populations. The most popular safari destinations in the country are in the north, where expansive plains rich with animals contrast with high escarpments and majestic volcanic highlands. Here, the Great Rift Valley beautifully frames game areas like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Africa’s highest peak, the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, at 5,895 meters, is a haven for serious hikers and mountaineers.

Tanzania’s national parks are home to large populations of animals and birds. Nearly 2 million wildebeest and zebra migrate along ancient routes in the Serengeti National Park alone, followed by opportunistic lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and jackals. A vast volcanic crater, the renowned Ngorongoro Crater is home to 25,000 creatures in an environment of unmatched majesty. For hundreds of years, the Maasai tribe has lived in this area, and they continue to graze cattle amid the local fauna. It’s enlightening to visit a nearby village and discover their culture and way of life.

Beautiful Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Parks, two radically different habitats, are other important animal locations. Encircled by riparian forest and grassy floodplains, Lake Manyara is a sanctuary for birds and is home to many hippopotamuses and tree-climbing lions. Large herds of elephants, unusual baobab trees, and vivid red soils are among Tarangire National Park’s most well-known features. On the western border, between Lake Tanganyika and the Mahale Mountains, you can find one of the largest populations of wild chimpanzees in Africa. Here, going on a safari is a wonderful experience.

Zanzibar, also known as the “spice island,” is in the Indian Ocean, just off the east coast of Tanzania. A tour of the town exposes its complicated past, and the ancient Stone Town is a UNESCO Heritage-listed property. A tranquil end to any East African safari, the island also features white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise water, and beach hotels that provide barefoot luxury.
