Tanzania is a country in East Africa that is filled with stunning landscapes, scenic views, and immense wildlife diversity. Not only is it home to 3 of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders, but also Africa’s highest mountain and largest, deepest lake. It is a country that offers an abundance of cultural and natural experiences and remains one of the world’s most popular safari destinations.
Whether you are looking for a vacation filled with adventure and activities, historical and cultural experiences, or relaxation on beaches and idyllic islands, here are some reasons why you should consider making Tanzania your holiday destination at least once in your life.
Wildlife
Tanzania is home to a vast variety of wild animals and has the largest diversity and concentration of wildlife in Africa. It has numerous national parks and nature reserves, most notably the largest game reserve in the world – Selous Game Reserve – where you will have a chance to see elephants, buffaloes, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, and many more.
Another haven for wildlife is the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact crater in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The crater floor offers an array of scenery from swamps, lakes, and rivers, to woodlands, and mountains. This scenic place is also home to Africa’s Big Five – the lion, leopard, cape buffalo, rhino, and elephant.
Another once-in-a-lifetime experience is the Great Migration – thousands of wildebeest crossing the Serengeti plains in search of fresh grass. It is truly a spectacle worth witnessing.

The Maasai People
This ancient nomadic tribe lives near the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. They live in traditional Maasai villages and are recognizable by their beautiful, brightly colored red robes called Shuka and beaded jewelry. They welcome visitors with open arms and offer a first-hand experience of their culture and lifestyle. Visiting a traditional Maasai village will give you a chance to see tribe members singing and dancing their famous jumping dance and spend a night in a boma – a traditional Maasai house.
Mt. Kilimanjaro
One of Africa’s Natural Wonders, the so-called roof of Africa, Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano that rises 5895 meters above sea level. It is the easiest to climb out of the Seven Summits and offers a unique climbing experience thanks to its untouched nature, 5 different ecological zones, and unique, diverse vegetation and wildlife.
The mountain is located in the Kilimanjaro National Park, so besides ascending the summit, you will have a chance to do a variety of other activities, such as wildlife and bird watching, camping, going on nature guided walks, hiking, and others.
Zanzibar
Zanzibar is a perfect relaxation spot, with its white-sand beaches, clear waters, a large variety of resorts, and an interesting blend of cultures. The so-called Spice Island offers you a chance to experience history, natural beauty, and unique marine life, making it the perfect finishing point of your trip to Tanzania.
Make sure to visit Stone Town, the hub of commerce and culture that is full of ancient buildings, explore Sultan’s palaces, or take a tour of one of Zanzibar’s numerous spice plantations.
There are plenty more things the country has to offer, but whether you are looking for an adventure, unique wildlife, glorious beaches, or incredible culture and food, Tanzania is the perfect place to experience all of it.
