Why Should You Visit Tanzania

One country, every kind of adventure.

Few places on earth pack as much wonder into a single country as Tanzania. In one trip you can track lions across the Serengeti, stand on the roof of Africa atop Kilimanjaro, descend into the wildlife-filled Ngorongoro Crater, and unwind on the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar. Add warm, welcoming people and a deep cultural heritage, and you have a destination that stays with you for life.

Whether it’s your first safari or your tenth visit to Africa, Tanzania rewards every traveller. Here’s what makes it so special.

Tanzania safari landscape at golden hour

Witness the Great Migration

The Serengeti hosts the greatest wildlife spectacle on the planet: around two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle moving in an endless cycle across the plains. From the drama of the Mara River crossings to the tender chaos of calving season, it is nature at its most raw and breathtaking. Learn more on our Great Migration page.

Big Cats & the Big Five

Tanzania is one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino — along with cheetah, giraffe, hippo and hundreds of bird species. The Serengeti’s lion prides are legendary, Tarangire is famed for its elephants and baobabs, and Lake Manyara is known for its tree-climbing lions. Every game drive brings something new.

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

At 5,895 metres, Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world — yet it is a trek, not a technical climb, so it’s within reach of fit, determined travellers. Walk through rainforest, moorland, alpine desert and glacier zones to stand on the Roof of Africa at sunrise. It is one of the world’s most rewarding bucket-list achievements.

The Ngorongoro Crater

A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest intact volcanic calderas on earth, the Ngorongoro Crater is a natural amphitheatre teeming with wildlife year-round. Descend its walls to find lions, elephants, flamingos and some of the last black rhinos, all against a stunning backdrop. It’s often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World.”

Relax on Zanzibar

After the dust of the safari trail, the Indian Ocean awaits. Zanzibar’s palm-fringed white beaches, turquoise water and historic Stone Town make it the perfect way to end a trip. Snorkel coral reefs, take a spice tour, or simply unwind. A safari-and-beach combination is one of the most popular ways to experience Tanzania.

Warm People & Rich Culture

Tanzania is home to more than 120 ethnic groups living together peacefully, united by the Swahili language and a famously warm spirit of karibu (welcome). Meet the Maasai, learn local traditions and crafts, and enjoy genuine hospitality wherever you go. The country’s stability and friendliness are a big part of why visitors return again and again.
