Tanzania is a land of epic adventures where nature writes the script. Here you can spot the Big Five roaming across the endless Serengeti, and witness the Great Migration, millions of wildebeest and zebras moving in rhythm with the rains. You can swim alongside whale sharks off Pemba Island, or watch the sun rise over Mount Kilimanjaro, the legendary “Roof of Africa.”

Traveling through Tanzania means stepping into stories both ancient and alive. From the coffee plantations of Arusha to the dramatic floor of Ngorongoro Crater, this country is filled with life in its purest form. Watch tree climbing lions lounge in Lake Manyara, stand among the mighty baobabs of Tarangire, and sail the shores of Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake.

Along the way, meet the Maasai with their red cloaks and traditions rooted in centuries of history, and the Swahili communities whose culture stretches across the Indian Ocean coast. Wherever you go, you’ll be welcomed with “karibu tena” — welcome again — because once you arrive in Tanzania, it always calls you back.

    Our top 5 things to do in Tanzania

    Explore the Serengeti’s ecosystem

    The Serengeti is vast, ancient, and teeming with life. Go on safari to see elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos alongside over 500 bird species. Time it right, and you will witness the Great Migration, the largest overland animal movement on the planet.

    Descend into Ngorongoro Crater

    Formed two to three million years ago, this immense caldera is one of the most dramatic safari landscapes in Africa. It is home to elephants, lions, flamingos, and even Maasai communities who still live within its rim.

    Spot tree climbing lions at Lake Manyara

    Lake Manyara is famous for its big skies, flamingo flocks, and a rare pride of lions that rest in trees. Your game drive will take you through forests, lakeside, and savannah in search of these elusive climbers.

    Walk among the baobabs of Tarangire

    Tarangire is a land of ancient giants. Its centuries old baobab trees tower over herds of elephants, wildebeest, and zebras. During migration season, the plains come alive with wildlife.

    Visit coffee plantations in Arusha

    Arusha is more than a gateway to safaris. Its coffee plantations are lush, fragrant, and full of character. Take a tour, enjoy a freshly brewed cup, and learn how beans here fuel both local life and global markets.
