Tanzania is an incredibly multifaceted country that offers a unique combination of spectacular wildlife reserves and supremely beautiful beaches and islands, where visitors can relax and unwind after an exhilarating safari experience.

With almost 60 million inhabitants, Tanzania is a relatively densely populated country with Dar-Es-Salam (6 million) as its largest city and Dodoma in the interior as its capital. Acting as the gateway to the northern parks and located close to Kilimanjaro, Arusha is the undisputed hub for safaris. Coastal regions are tropical, while the high plateaus of the Maasai savannah have a more moderate climate.

Highlights in the north are, of course, the Serengeti with its annual migration of thousands and thousands of wildebeest and zebras, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Kilimanjaro, Manjara and Tarangire National Parks. The south of the country hosts the quieter Nyerere and Ruaha National Parks, while the west is home to the remote Katavi and the mystique Mahale Mountains National Park where the chimpanzees live along the shores of Lake Tanganyika.

The islands of Zanzibar, Pemba, Mafia and some lesser know islands offer visitors the ideal opportunity to relax and unwind after the beach. There's plenty to discover!
