So, you’ve decided that Tanzania is the place to go. We can’t help but agree. Who would deprive themselves of glittering lagoons, rolling natural plains, or beaches that resemble something quite heavenly? And all in the company of the captivating animals and people that make this part of East Africa so culturally rich. The sheer wonder of places like Tarangire with its undisturbed safari experience or Tanzania’s own stunning World Heritage Site- Selous- can seem somewhat daunting at first. That’s where we come in. We’ve hand-picked a selection of the best and most vital destinations for your journey to Tanzania. So, what are you waiting for?
If you’re a first-time visitor wondering ‘where to go in Tanzania’, this alluring country has plenty to give. If jaw-dropping views are your thing, you can’t miss the UNESCO-listed Ngorongoro crater. The crater’s immense walls offer magnificent vistas of lush countryside dotted with sparkling lakes, while down below lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and all sorts of cool creatures roam freely. Sounds pretty epic, right?
And it’s not just the landscape and wildlife in Ngorongoro that will take your breath away. You’ll have the privilege of seeing the Masaai tribe in their own home- amidst the rolling plateaus and prowling felines. Expect to see them partaking in traditional songs and dances with their crimson robes blending into the sunset. Unmissable cultural experience? We’ll let you answer that one.

After such a tantalizing experience, you may be craving the comfort of a town like Arusha. Nestled between the world-famous Serengeti National Park with its picture-book vistas and the intimate oasis of Lake Manyara, Arusha offers a perfect stop-off during your Tanzanian experience.
Here, you can relax in the shadows of the mountaintops with an iced latte from Africafe (maybe even taking it on a quick ‘bean-to-cup’ plantation tour while you’re at it) or have a browse of some traditional African market stalls. Wherever you go, you’ll be greeted with a warm ‘karibu’ (welcome.)
And what better way to wind down after all of your adventures than with a relaxing beach break? Zanzibar archipelago offers some of the world’s most picturesque beaches lapped by warm, clear waters. Flop down on soft sands, snorkel with shoals of vibrant sea life and embrace the laid-back island life. You can’t get much closer to paradise than this.
