Why visit Tanzania?

Being home to Africa’s highest point – Mount Kilimanjaro and high concentration of wildlife, Tanzania is worth visiting. The main activities in this country include wildlife viewing and mountaineering and maybe holidays in Zanzibar. The country has seven of the world heritage sites and these include: Kilimanjaro National Park, Serengeti National Park, Selous Game Reserve, Stone Town of Zanzibar, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Kondoa Rock-Art Sites and Ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and Ruins of Songo Mnara. Ngorongoro, one of the area with the highest concentration of wildlife is apparently the largest unflooded and unbroken volcano caldera in the whole world. The annual wildebeest migration that takes place in Serengeti is another dramatic display of wildlife behavior that you should witness.

40 kilometers off Dar es Salaam on the mainland coast of Tanzania lies the islands of Unguja, Pemba and Mafia. These three islands make up Zanzibar – one of the finest destinations for honeymoons and beach holidays in Africa. Lake Natron – A mineral rich soda lake situated far north of the country is a place where you will see animals and a few birds turn into statues. When you visit Tanzania for a holiday, you should try to include some of these nice places in your packages.

Best time to go on Tanzania safaris

The best wildlife and mountain climbing safari experiences are got during the dry months of the year. This means you should schedule your safari for such months. The driest season begins in June and stretches till late October. A drier one starts in December and goes on till late February. Travelling during such months will some how guarantee you the best weather condition. You will see huge herds of wildlife because they roam freely around Tanzania national parks and other protected areas. This is not the case with the wet season because these animals tend to take shelter from the rain, which makes it hard to spot them. And even if you spotted them, they will not be as much as they would have been during a dry day.

Much as visiting during the dry months is recommended, this is Africa. This country is an all year holiday destination. If you visited during the wet months, rain could soak the soil but the sun will suddenly come out to dry it and life moves on.
