Places Where To Travel When In Tanzania

By Jane Farasi

There is lots on offer if you are considering where to travel in Tanzania, a land of contrasts and diversity.

This country is easily accessed by a whole network of international flights from Europe, the Middle East and neighboring African countries.

Mount Kilimanjaro

It is a country of extremes in its geography and landscape, from the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak to its lowest at the bed of Lake Tanganyika and to the shores of the Indian Ocean at sea level. Mount Kilimanjaro, with snow at the top, is one of Tanzania's wonders and many people visit this country just to climb Kilimanjaro.

Wildlife

The annual wildebeest migration sets off from the Serengeti Game reserve as it heads to the Maasai Mara in Kenya.

Other wildlife sanctuaries like Tarangire National Park are several in Tanzania and the choice is wide as to where to visit.

Sandy Beaches and the Islands

Enjoy the deep blue sea, the sandy beaches and the haven of peace under the palm trees on the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and the other surrounding small islands.

The Mafia Island Marine Park is famous for among other things the scuba diving, snorkeling and other water sports.

There is rich culture and cultural blends. A visit to Zanzibar's Stone City attests to this as it carries a history of the slave trade, the spice trade and as it blends the Arabic with the local in lifestyles and architecture.

Thinking about where to travel in Tanzania? Well this country is precisely one of the good reasons why people come to Africa, the options are unlimited and the experience is truly memorable.
