Tanzania Attractions
Most of the wild reserves in Tanzania are easily accessed from Kilimanjaro or Arusha airports or by road from Nairobi. Tanzania has whatever you dream about; The Tropical islands, Climbing the highest mountain in Africa, Driving for marine treasures or just watching the annual migration of plains game. It has most romantic and tropical beaches in Africa -Zanzibar and Pemba, Zanzibar stone town which was once home to Sultans and explorers; the land of exotice spices and white sandy beaches. Imagine a country that can fulfill your every holiday dream. A country of wide open spaces and magnificent wildlife, of idyllic palm fringed islands set in turquoise seas, of pirate tales and sultan's palaces, of smiling faces and warm hospitality. If you distilled everybody's quintessential dream of Africa into one country, Tanzania would be the result. It is an intensely sensual land, appealing to sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. Somehow everything seems to be bigger, wilder, more exotic and quite simply, more spectacular in Tanzania.
Africa's highest mountain, most famous national park, largest game reserve and three largest lakes lie within Tanzania's borders. It is a land that has inspired artists and writers such as Ernest Hemingway. It was here that Henry Stanley uttered the immortal words "Dr. Livingstone, I presume". Here too lie the remains of one of the earliest human ancestors ever discovered. There is a fascinating mix of people and cultures. The erect figure of a Maasai warrior striding across the Serengeti, is as much part of Tanzania as is the shadowy silhouette of the shrouded Arab women in the Stone City of Zanzibar. Tanzania enjoys the cultural heritage of more than 120 ethnic groups spiced with touches of Chinese, Persian and Arab influence from the traders of a past era. The word 'safari' originated here. It is Kiswahili for journey - and what a journey! Take the annual migration of the wildebeest - something so awe-inspiring that once seen it is never forgotten. Tanzania is elephant country with some of the largest herds in Africa and this magnificent land is also home to chimpanzees, now rarely seen in the wild.
