Things to know before your Tanzania trip

What does a trip to Tanzania look like?

Most trips start with a safari, think lions in Tarangire, elephants crossing the Serengeti plains, and rhinos in Ngorongoro. After the wildlife, swap your hiking boots for flip-flops on Zanzibar’s beaches.

But there’s more: dive with whale sharks around Mafia Island, hike through the misty Usambara Mountains, or explore the wild beauty of Ruaha National Park. Every Tanzania itinerary is different, but the best ones mix iconic spots with off-the-radar gems.
