Tanzania - Planning your trip

Tanzania holidays, Planning your Trip to Tanzania East Africa

Most people taking holidays in Tanzania for the first time will wish to combine a safari with a stay on the island of Zanzibar.

A classic safari in the North will include Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro crater, the Serengeti and maybe the Tarangire National Park.
A stay in Zanzibar should best include a few days on the West coast, discovering Stone Town, doing a spice tour or chilling out on the islands opposite Stone Town and a few days on the East Coast just lazing on the beach and taking life easy. Ideally two or three week holidays in Tanzania can be split equally between safari and beach depending on your preference. Others may also wish to climb Kilimanjaro, this can also be organised and combines well with the Northern circuit.

Those who are a little more adventurous may try the parks in the South. The seasons are slightly different, the vegetation thicker but no less beautiful and the Southern parks allow for greater isolation.

Those who are primarily planning a trip to Zanzibar but wish to add on a few days safari may well choose to visit the Selous which is the closest park to Zanzibar and manageable in a short period of time.
Safari Ndjema! (Good journey!)
