Tanzania draws thousands of tourists year after year thanks to its action-packed safaris. With so many national parks and game reserves, Tourists in Tanzania can choose from a wide range of safaris and tours for the family, each offering unique experiences and breathtaking views of nature.
WILDLIFE IN ACTION
Until now you’ve only seen exotic animals on your TV screens, but once you’re on an African safari, you get to see them live, just a few meters away from you. The Serengeti National Park is one of the hottest tourist spots in Tanzania because of its annual game reserve migration where 2 million animals make their way across the country in search of fresh vegetation—including the majestic wildebeest.
Tourists can hop onto hot air balloons and witness the migration from the skies. There’s nothing like it; it’s an experience that will stay with you for life. But it’s not just the wildebeest that will leave you mesmerized, Serengeti National Park gives you the chance to photograph beautiful zebras in their natural habitats while lions sit in the distance watching their every move.
Serengeti National Park is a must-visit for all adventure-seekers visiting Tanzania.
CHIMPANZEES IN THE MAHALE MOUNTAINS
Chimpanzees can’t be lumped with other wildlife just because they’re so interesting. Chimps are fascinating animals that will keep you hooked. They eat, play, fight, and nurture their young just like us. There’s something about observing chimpanzees from such a close distance that instantly captivates you.
THE MIGRATORY BIRDS AT LAKE MANYARA
You wouldn’t know how attractive birds can be until you’ve seen the birds at Lake Manyara. There are about 300 species of migratory birds at the lake! Flamingos are by far the most fun birds to photograph in the area—they’re every photographer’s favorite!
In the dry season, you’ll be able to spot elephants, giraffes, and hippos too.
MOUNT KILIMANJARO
Have you ever been lost for words when coming face to face with one of nature’s greatest wonders? You will be when as you approach Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest peak on the continent and makes for exhilarating hikes. Few have what it takes to climb the mammoth mountain, but even if you take shorter hikes, you can still enjoy its stunning landscapes and biodiversity.
You’ve got to make your way to Mount Kilimanjaro when you visit Tanzania.
ZANZIBAR
Once you’ve experienced African safaris, it’s time to wind down on the beaches of Zanzibar! The city is known for its serene, sunny beaches and its bustling marketplace. Zanzibar is where you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to live in Tanzania. Mingle with the locals and try authentic Tanzania grub in its eateries.
You can’t get the full Tanzanian experience without spending time in Zanzibar. Tell your tour guides to schedule a few nights in the city after you’re done with family safaris.
