Why you’ll love it

Tanzania is well-known in its own right, and it shares borders with other famous African countries including Kenya, Rwanda, Zanzibar, and many more. The Big Five and the Great Wildebeest Migration are must-sees, but there is much more to the nation than that. You may spend weeks traveling around Tanzania, seeing everything from the pink flamingos of Lake Natron to the fauna of Ngorongoro Crater, the white sands of Pemba Island, and the historic buildings of Stone Town.

While homosexuality and same-sex marriage are outlawed in Tanzania, travelers have been welcomed there for years, especially at the safari lodges and service providers we recommend. You can’t go wrong with this wildlife haven if you want a real taste of an East African safari.

Flourishing and Mystifying diversity

About Tanzania

There are many amazing things that Tanzania is famous for. To begin, I would like to welcome you to the stage upon which the greatest spectacle ever put on by nature, the Great Migration, is performed. In quest of greener pastures, almost 2 million wildebeest, along with gazelle and zebra, make the annual journey across the country and back to Kenya. There’s a good reason why this extraordinary and puzzling phenomenon is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Witnessing their incredible mass migration across the African continent is awe-inspiring.

The Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania is the world’s largest and only completely intact crater. The rich biodiversity of this basin, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, serves as a magnet for a wide variety of animals. The vibrant rituals and clothing of the Maasai people will not fail to satisfy your craving for authentic regional color. The highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, is another draw. Hikers who are brave (and prepared) enough can take on its gradient. If you’d rather take it easy, there are also many additional trails to explore.
