Tanzania Safari and Travel Guide

Tanzania tourism offers its visitors viewings of endless herds of wildebeest and zebra trekking across the plains followed by the predatory lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena in addition to some of the largest populations of elephants in the world as well as the rarely seen chimpanzee.

The Serengeti National Park is the largest park in the country and probably the most renowned in the east Africa region, with its awe inspiring wildebeest migration.

Tanzania also boasts beautiful beaches - hundreds of miles of palm-fringed sands on the coastline of the mainland as well as on its islands, of which the most well-known is, without a doubt, the world famous exotic island of Zanzibar.

Tanzania has also huge lakes, such as Victoria and Tanganyika, as well as massive and mysterious mountains including Mount Meru as well as several others in addition to the world-renowned Mount Kilimanjaro.

At the same time, its cities, which are the starting point for the discovery of this amazing country, are relaxed and friendly.

Tanzania tourism offers visitors extremely wild and completely virgin places within the country, mostly in its southern tourism circuit.

In addition to all of this, the country also hosts a vast number of people and tribes whose varied cultures and traditions make up the rich tapestry that is Tanzanian culture.

To this day, this marvelous country remains untouched by the holiday-making hordes of mass tourism thanks to a well balanced tourism development policy.

According to Mr. Peter Mwenguo, the Managing Director of The Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB), the organization in charge of catalyzing the development of Tanzania tourism products and promoting them both internally and abroad:

"Tanzania has been looking at attracting low volume of tourists so that we protect nature and we make our product remain premium for long time."

Tanzania is often divided into regional circuits, or groups of game parks, whose geographical proximity and topographical features make up a varied and diverse group.

Tanzania's northern circuit alone easily attracts the majority of tourists, leaving other equally stunning, though less well-known locations, less frequented by tourists.

The southern circuit contains the Selous Game Reserve and, as such, it is an area that is open to professional hunters for six months of the year and is home to Africa's largest game reserve.

The country’s western circuit includes the shores of Lake Victoria, which is, by far, the largest lake in Africa.

However, none of these circuits are a complete itinerary by themselves.

In fact, most tourism operators will suggest selecting several regions and areas belonging to different circuits in order to make a truly unique holiday experience with an unforgettable blend of wildlife, culture, history and beaches.
