Best places in Tanzania to visit
From icons to hidden treasures
Plan and book with vetted local experts
Discover what makes Tanzania unforgettable





Witness the raw beauty of the Serengeti, where lions doze in the grass and wildebeest move in endless herds across the plains. With your private guide and vehicle, you can linger at the sightings, follow your own rhythm, and take in the silence between the roars. It’s the kind of safari that lets the wild unfold naturally.


Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a vast volcanic bowl teeming with animals - from zebras and elephants to rare black rhinos. As your guide points out hidden tracks and behaviors, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into nature’s amphitheater. The views alone are unforgettable, but the wildlife makes it even more magical.


Sink your feet into the soft white sand of Zanzibar’s beaches, where clear turquoise water stretches as far as the eye can see. Whether you're swimming, walking along the shore, or enjoying a fresh seafood lunch, it’s a perfect pause between adventures. With your guide’s help, you’ll find quieter spots away from the big resorts—peaceful, beautiful, and truly relaxing.


Visit a small village near Arusha or Moshi, where you’ll join locals in preparing a traditional meal over open fire and learn about daily life from the people who live it. From grinding spices to sharing stories, it’s a hands-on, heartwarming experience. Your guide ensures it’s respectful and real, not staged or rushed.

13-day couple trip to Morocco
“What an amazing experience. My husband and I were looking to visit Morocco and were not keen on a self-drive (which I still do not recommend) and also did not want to join in a group. We did have the option of taking a private tour with a South African operator but decided on Tilila Travel through Rough Guides. It turned out to be the best choice. They helped us with the planning of the route, suggested sites and activities, arranged all the local guides, accommodation etc, and even arranged for a Moroccan sim card (which worked better than the E-sim in rural areas). Always very quick to respond to our request and help with the visa applications. Our personal guide Tawfiq met us at the airport, and was on call through the trip, for pickups and transfers, meeting with guides, suggesting restaurants, finding banks, warning us of scams – you name it. We were so pampered. But even better, from the start we told Tawfiq that we wanted to have an authentic experience, and that is what he gave us: - a meal with a Berber farmer and his family; cooking classes in a Marrakech home; a picnic Moroccan style among the Rabat locals, and so many tales and insights. He went beyond the itinerary so that we could experience the true Moroccan culture, away from the more touristic spots. Tawfiq treated us like royalty, and we felt safe in his charge . We will definitely use Tillia and Rough Guides again.”

15-day couple trip to Morocco
“Tilila Travel gave us personal, prompt, polite, and extremely solicitous attention to all of our requests and travel needs. They arranged beautiful lodging, sensible schedules, and excellent local tour services. A great outfit to deal with. Our driver Tawfiq, was a hoot. We spent many hours on the road in conversation about Morocco and life on both sides of the ocean. He had boundless energy and enthusiasm, and always bent over backwards with great local advice for touring, eating, and sightseeing. We all laughed and sang a lot on our long travel days, while we listened to his playlists of Moroccan folk and dance music. He was on call for us in the evenings, and drove us to restaurants and entertainment, taking all of the worry out of navigating the cities. Tawfiq was more like a travel buddy than a driver, and infinitely better than Uber!”

10-day family trip to Morocco
“We had a great trip. The communication was clear and well organised. Walid was a great driver and guide and the other local guides organised for us were excellent and made the trip richer and fun. We would highly recommend using rough guides for a trip to Morocco. The local company was excellent and meant our trip was both fascinating and smooth.”

10-day family trip to Morocco
“We had a fantastic experience from planning through the end of the tour. Mohamed is an expert and he worked with us to learn about our preferences and expectations, then he prepared the itinerary. He checked in with us during the journey and we felt that he was truly looking after us. Our driver, Abdel, was kind and friendly. He was flexible and able to make adjustments based on our (ever changing) interests. Abdel was a great guide and support. The local guides in Fez and Marrakech were very knowledgeable and great communicators. We felt very well taken care of. This was a family holiday (including two college age boys), and we all were very happy. This holiday exceeded expectations and it would not have been possible without Tilila Travel.”
