Tanzania offers a little bit of magic to travelers, with a landscape that varies between endless stretches of grasslands to the highest mountain in Africa – and one of the highest free standing mountains in the world – Mount Kilimanjaro.
It is an inactive volcano and forms part of the famous Seven Summits that mountaineers aspire to climb, forming the fourth highest of these seven mountains. The majestic snow covered peaks can be seen from a very long distance away and it forms one of Tanzania’s key attractions.
Tanzania offers endless grasslands with animals vying for attention from Masai herdsmen. The landscape ensures brilliant opportunities for animal viewing, and lions and cheetah abound.
The rainy season is from March till May with almost daily showers, but the annual wildebeest migration makes it more than just worth your time and effort to brave the rain. It is truly a spectacle you will never forget!
The largest country in East Africa, Tanzania offers abundant plains, mountains and lakes as well as a coastal belt with the Indian Ocean as neighbour. A highland plateau forms the largest part of the country.
In the north-east along the Kenyan border you will find Meru and Kilimanjaro, the two highest mountains. Due to the altitude of the high plateau you can expect temperatures to get quite cool once the sun has set. Along the coastal strip temperatures are generally hot and humid – typical tropical climate.
Dar es Salaam provides access to the eastern coastal region as well as Ruaha and Selous in the south.
Arusha services Mt Kilimanjaro and the world renowned Serengeti and Ngorongoro conservation areas. Visitors who want to enjoy Tanzania’s absolute abundance of wildlife should include a visit to this conservation area in their stay!
The country’s road structure is not very good unfortunately, but in order to get to places like the Crater or Tarangire you have no choice but to travel by road.
A corporate incentive safari to Tanzania is certain to leave you with lifelong imprinted memories about the magic that Africa offers.
