Tarangire has a vegetation known to be more dense than the Serengeti and in the dry season, between June and October, large herds of animals are attracted tothe Tarangire River. At this time, the elephant numbers are spectacular.

Though very accessible, Arusha NP isn’t on many safari itineraries.This is mainly because it doesn’t offer a chance of seeing the Big Five. The park is at the base of Mount Meru, which is good for climbing. It has a range of habitats including forest - home to black-and-white colobus monkeys - and is excellent for birding.

The tallest free-standing mountain in the world, rises to a breath-taking view of Tanzania. Mount Kilimanjaro offers the adventurous travellers multiple routes to scale the tallest peak in Africa, ranging from the casual Marangu route to the more difficult, but scenic Mchame route. Visitors to the area can also explore the Kilimanjaro National Park where a variety of animals can be found in their natural habitat.

There are seven official trekking routes by which to ascend and descend Mount Kilimanjaro: Lemosho, Machame, Marangu, Mweka, Rongai, Shira, and Umbwe. Of all the routes, Machame is considered the most scenic, albeit steeper, route. It can be done in six or seven days. The Rongai is the easiest and least scenic of all camping routes. The Marangu is also relatively easy, but this route tends to be very busy, the ascent and descent routes are the same, andaccommodation is in shared huts with all otherclimbers.

Dubbed with World Heritage Site status, Selous is one of Africa’s largestparks and fringed by the Rufiji River. Wildlife is rife along the plains and lodges are located amidst well situated positions. If visitors opt to stay at a lodge inside the game reserve, it is not uncommon to hear thedistinguishable footsteps of hippos and other nocturnal wildlife as they roam the grounds at night. Unlike the national parks, this conservation area allows walking (the ideal way to observe the 2,000 indigenous plant species), boating safaris and many of the camps offer overnight fly camping excursions. Lions are easily found at the lake shores, though one of the main attractions of the park is its large population of wild dogs.

Stone Town is the old city and cultural heart of Zanzibar, little changed in the last 200 years. It is a place of winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques and grand Arab houses whose original owners vied with each other over the extravagance of their dwellings. This one-upmanship is particularly reflected in the brass-studded, carved, wooden doors - there are more than 500 different examples of this handiwork. You can spend many idle hours and days just wandering through the fascinatingabyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways.

Places to visit: The Old Dispensary, The market,Livingstone’s House, The Peace Memorial Museum, The Palace Museum, The House of Wonders

The coasts in Zanzibar are a paradise, interspersed with picturesque fishing villages, where the people live a simple way of life, unchanged over the years. There are more than 25 fantastic beaches in Zanzibar, and some are so peaceful and remote that the only noise breaking the silence is likely to be the ocean. At the northern tip of the island is Nungwi, approached by a road lined by banana palms, mangroves and coconut trees. This is the dhow building capital of Zanzibar island, so it is a good place to see traditional craftsmen at work.

On the west coast of Zanzibar, Mangapwani beach is worth a visit, and to the east are the beaches of Matemwe, Pwani Mchangani, Kiwengwa, Uroa, Bwejuu and Jambiani, all with stretches of beautiful white sands.

Zanzibar also boasts several small offshore island, Prison (or Changu) island is the most popular with a large population of ancient Aldabra tortoises.

Pemba is a very beautiful tropical landmass, covering 988 squarekilometres and lying 60km off the Indian Ocean Coast of Tanzania, 40km to the north of Zanzibar Island and 150km north of Dar es Salaam. Island has been overshadowed by the popularity of its sister island of Unguja. The popularity of Pemba stems mainly from the clove industry, More than 70% of the Zanzibar’s harvest of cloves is produced in the island of Pemba.

Perhaps the most alluring aspect of the island is its stunning marine environment. Much of the coastline plunges steeply into the deep blue Indian Ocean, especially on the eastern side, whilst on the western side broad coral lagoons are dotted with a network of beautiful small islands. Mucking around in boats in these waters and having picnics on theseremote tropical islands is such a great experience, this is almostcertainly our favourite area of the East African coast. The diving around Pemba Island is as good as it gets.

Pemba

Mafia Island lying only 160 km south, remains virtually unknown. Previously poor communications with the mainland and beingmuch lesser known than Zanzibar have kept Mafia ‘original’,although a steady trickle of visitors are unanimous in singing its praise. Mafia is one of the safest places in the Indian Ocean and there are no hustlers to spoil a holiday. Natural vegetation on Mafiaranges from tidal mangrove thickets and scrubby coastalmoorlands to palm-wooden grassland and lowland rainforest.

Mafia Island and its reefs are renowned as an excellent, world-class diving destination. Scientists have confirmed that has some of the richest reefs in the world, with an unparalleled variety of hard and soft corals and diversity of tropical fish. Mafia Archipelago hosts antiquities dating back to the Eleventh Century, including ruins at Kisimani Mafia, Kanga, Kua on Juani Island and Chole Island.

Visit Hadzabe Tribe - Cultural experience The Hadza or Bushmen people are an ethnic group living in central Tanzania around Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Valley and in the neighboring Serengeti Plateau. The Bushmen people raise no livestock, grow no food, and live without calendars or rules. They are living a hunter-gatherer existence that is little changed from 10,000 years ago. Today they are the last functioning hunter-gatherers in Africa. The Hadza are a unique culture not closely related to any other people. Traditionally they were considered an East African branch of the Khoisan peoples, primarily because their language consists of a curious series of clicks. Modern genetic research suggests that they may be more closely related to the Pygmies.

Lake NatronSituated at the base of Africa’s only active volcano Oldonyo Lengai (Mountain of God), Lake Natron is one of the most alkaline lakes in the world. The lake is home to millions of tiny crustaceans, attracting literally thousands of lesser flamingo’s and it is therefore one of the most important flamingo breeding grounds on earth. Activities in the Lake Natron area focus mainly on walks. You can walk out across the baked mud to the shores of the great soda lake itself, in which algae andzooplankton thrive – which in turn attract the flamingos that line the lake’s shore.

Lake Tanganyika Lake Tanganyika is one of the Great Rift Valley Lakes found on the western border of Tanzania, in East Africa. The Lake boasts visibilities of up to 20m with massive boulders, spectacular drop offs and a shell covered bottom. It is thought to date back 9 to 20 million years and is one of the richest aqueous environments in the world, supporting at least 280 varieties of fish. Becauseof their unique feeding techniques, Tanganyika cichlids prefer differenthabitats. This means that by going only a few hundred meters, you are able to view totally different species, making your diving and snorkelling trips very exciting.
