Tanzania: Between Spectacular Safaris and Sublime Beaches
Twice as large as its Kenyan neighbor, long forgotten by the West, Tanzania is now a booming destination for wildlife enthusiasts and camping safaris of all kinds, whether on horseback, in a 4x4, or even in a hot air balloon. These adventures take place in a wild nature and sites as sublime as the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, or the Great Rift Valley. Keen hikers will head to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the summit of Africa (5,895 m), while those who love fine sandy beaches bordering crystal-clear waters and spices with a thousand scents will cross the Indian Ocean to discover the island of Zanzibar, adorned with coconut trees, for a beach holiday synonymous with relaxation.
An Unforgettable African Escape
A trip to Tanzania, in East Africa, will offer you the breathtaking beauty and variety of its landscapes, as well as the hospitality of people untouched by mass tourism. You will also discover the immense richness of its wildlife and preserved natural reserves, which cover a quarter of the territory, formerly known as Tanganyika.
Explore Tanzania Differently
Nestled on 15,000 km² at an altitude of 1,500 m, the Serengeti is home to one of the world's most important sanctuaries for observing wildlife in the Tanzanian bush. A natural haven of vast plains and hills, magnified each year by the phenomenon of the great migration, when millions of animals cross the savannah from north to south between May and December. You can encounter all sorts of predators there, from cheetahs to hyenas, as well as herds of zebras, hippopotamuses, or giraffes.
The mythical roof of the African continent (5,895 m) is climbed with a group of guides and porters during a three-to-six-day hike. An unforgettable visual adventure accessible to any somewhat trained walker, although the effects of high altitude can sometimes be unpredictable. A guaranteed change of scenery and total immersion in the heart of the mountain.
Located less than 200 km west of Arusha, the Ngorongoro Crater is Africa's most beautiful and simplest way to observe the famous "big five" on safari (black rhinoceros, lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant) in one place. More broadly, the wildlife is so rich in this natural refuge that one might feel like being in Noah's Ark.
Explore Authentic Tanzania
Observe the lesser flamingos at the mysterious Lake Natron
Nestled at the Kenyan border, in the Great Rift Valley, Lake Natron is reached after a few hours' drive from the major northern national parks. You will be welcomed by millions of lesser flamingos who spend a good part of the year here, singing with their feet in the ultra-salty water of this high-altitude lake, under the powerful gaze of the Lengai volcano. You can admire this bird species as far as the eye can see during their mass migration to South Africa.
Discover Mafia, the island where tranquility reigns
150 km south of Dar-es-Salaam, Mafia Island is a delightful alternative to the Zanzibar archipelago and its frenzy. No large crowds here, life flows very calmly between swimming in the crystal-clear waters of white sandy beaches and diving in the country's most renowned underwater reserves.
Walking safari in the Selous Reserve
The world's largest protected natural reserve can be easily explored on foot, with an armed guard, for a safari that combines hiking and wildlife observation between acacias and baobabs. The best way to reach it is by train from Dar-es-Salaam!
An Extended Journey: Discovering Tanzania
Tanzania benefits from undeniable geographical richness. The nation of the late Nyerere shares its borders with eight other countries: Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique. With the development of transportation, it is now easy to travel from Tanzania to these neighboring countries. One can take the road, fly, or travel by boat to reach the DRC, and even take the train to get to Zambia. This strategic geographical situation enhances economic and cultural interactions between Tanzania and its African neighbors.
