The popular Northern circuit incorporates bucket-list landmarks such as Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Mt Kilimanjaro. Repeat visitors might prefer the remote wilderness vibe of the Southern or Western circuits. For some beach time, the ‘Spice Island’ of Zanzibar is only a short flight away.
Although Dodoma is the true capital city, Dar es Salaam is the main central hub for international flights and the city that most visitors will pass through.
The Tanzania countryside is everything you’d expect in Africa. In the far north, the snowy peaks of Kilimanjaro rise to 19,341 feet.
The long coast of mainland Tanzania has white sand beaches and the Indian Ocean's sparkling, azure blue sea, and much more.
