Tanzania sits on the east coast of Africa with a long coastline on the Indian Ocean and the Zanzibar Archipelago ofUnguja, Pemba, Mafia and numerous other tropical islands, her main tourism attractions are the wildlife infested national parks clustered into two groups: the Northern Circuit (Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti as well as many other Wildlife Management Area designates) and the Southern Circuit (Selous, Ruaha, Mikumi, Mahale and Ngombe Stream national parks and other Wildlife Management Area designates). But the country is also famous for adventure tourism including mountain climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru (the second tallest) as well as beach and leisure holidays in Zanzibar, Pemba, Mafia and Dar es Salaam. Other tourism attractions include culture, birding, meetings, incentives, conferences and events.
Popularly referred to as the land of Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar her most popular spots include the proverbial kopje studded endless plains of Serengeti National Park that are awash with wild game including lions, elephants, leopard, giraffe, antelopes, buffalo, zebra, thousands upon thousands of other no lesser plains game; stunning African nature reminiscent of a real life Disneyland dating back eons and that never ceases to amaze. Ngorongoro is the biggest natural caldera in the world whose 10 km wide sunken crater is a wild life haven of unparalleled beauty wherein resides thousands of wild game – it is the only park in Tanzania where one can see wild rhinoceros and with relative ease. While Lake Manyara is famous for her tree climbing lions in the backdrop of this beautiful lake, Tarangire National Park, the final grand park in the northern safari circuit is famous for her contrast of gigantic baobab trees and unmistakably large and towering elephants only comparable to Kenya’s Amboseli and that remain relatively wild. The park must also have arguably the largest buffalo herds found anywhere in Africa.
Mt. Kilimanjaro is Africa’s tallest, the world’s second tallest and tallest free standing mountain) and the most popular climb because of her even gradient and well-formed peak. Every year, thousands of adventurists test her mettle and are glad to raise their flag and pop champagne atop her snow-capped peak, the rooftop of Africa. Mt. Meru, Kilimanjaro’s little sister just across the Maasai steppe/west Kilimanjaro in Arusha National Park is another hikers’ attraction with options for a three day climb to her rugged peaks or several different day long hikes on her fringes amongst troops of Black and White Colobus Monkeys and many mammal species.
The spice island of Zanzibar and adjacent Pemba are the haunt of many beach lovers who savor her white sandy beaches from the north to south in addition to cultural tours in her ‘capital’ Stone Town with Arab, Persian and European historical relics dating back to the 13thCentury. The Spice farms themselves are a throwback to the 19thcentury when Zanzibar was governed by the Arab sheikhs and whose cultural influences have remained to this day and can be seen through dress, food, religion and association. NB: although Tanganyika and Zanzibar formed a federation in the 60s which became Tanzania, Zanzibar retains semi-autonomy with an own parliament and ‘president’.
To the west of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania financial capital lying on the Indian Ocean are the relatively untraveled Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha national wildlife parks; remote, arid, romantic and totally off the beaten track savannah parks for excellent game viewing by car or boating on the Ruaha River in search of birds amongst the hippos and crocodiles that infest the river. Further west the Mahale Mountains and Ngombe Stream montane forests national parks sit on the edge of Lake Tanganyika, the world’s longest, second deepest and certainly one of the most beautiful lakes; it is so clear that one can see through her waters for meters and is the source of most of the cichlids (colorful fishes) found in many of the world’s aquariums. The parks are home to numerous species of mammals and primates including habituated Chimpanzees for tracking.
