Tanzania
The Highest Peak in Africa
Tanzania is a must-visit destination for its breathtaking landscapes and rich wildlife. The Serengeti National Park offers world-renowned safaris, where visitors can witness the Great Migration, one of nature’s most incredible spectacles. The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a haven for diverse species like elephants, lions, and rhinos.
Beyond wildlife, Tanzania boasts the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, perfect for adventurous hikers. Its snow-capped summit and diverse ecosystems make the climb a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For beach lovers, the idyllic Zanzibar archipelago provides pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters.
Tanzania is also home to vibrant cultures and historical sites. Explore the rich Swahili heritage in Stone Town or experience traditional Maasai villages. This blend of natural beauty, wildlife, and culture makes Tanzania a top African destination.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel to Tanzania is during the dry season from June to October, ideal for wildlife safaris, beach holidays, and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. During this time, animals are easier to spot in national parks like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and the famous Great Migration peaks in July. This season also offers clear skies and cooler temperatures for Kilimanjaro climbers. For beach lovers, Zanzibar enjoys warm, dry weather perfect for sunbathing and diving.
Alternatively, January to February is a great time to visit, especially for witnessing the Serengeti’s calving season and enjoying the coastal areas. However, avoid the long rainy season from March to May, when travel conditions can be difficult, and some lodges may close. The short rains from November to December are less disruptive but still not ideal for game viewing. Overall, June to October offers the best overall experience.
