Mkomazi
Located in the northeast of Tanzania, bordering Kenya, Mkomazi National Park is a hidden gem. Once inaccessible, this park is now within reach, offering visitors a chance to experience its spectacular wilderness. It's also one of the best places in Tanzania to spot a rhino!
Mto wa Mbu
Mto wa Mbu, a hidden village on the way to the Serengeti. Enjoy lush banana plantations, fish from Lake Manyara, and meet the Masai. A must-visit for culture enthusiasts and adventurers seeking authentic African vibes.
Lake Natron
Here, beauty lies in its ruggedness. From the colourful lake and flocks of flamingos to a night hike up the active Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano, this is a landscape like no other. Shompole Hill serves as a dramatic backdrop, reflecting in the water to create a truly spectacular view.
Sacred Masai mountain Longido
At 2,637 metres, Longido is Tanzania’s underdog. It’s not the Kilimanjaro, but when it comes to off-the-beaten-track mountain climbing, Longido will give you a run for your money. Two days of climbing in rugged nature with the mountain all to yourself? Longido won’t disappoint.
Enduimet Conservancy
Deep in Masai land, where tourists are still a rarity and wildlife reigns supreme, three impressive mountains await. Discover the magic of this conservancy not by car, but on the back of a motorbike.
Lake Manyara National Park
Spot the tree-climbing lions, vibrant birds, and splashing hippos amidst the diverse wildlife of this park. Lake Manyara offers a blend of savannahs, swamps, and wildlife in all shapes and sizes. Keep your binoculars at the ready!
Dar Es Salaam
In Tanzania’s former capital, you’ll find restaurants, shops, markets, and museums that are all worth exploring. This bustling melting pot of cultures blends European, Arab, Asian, and, of course, African and Tanzanian influences into one vibrant city.
Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and a dormant volcano. At 5,895 metres high with three peaks, it’s a must-see for every traveller to Africa. You simply can’t visit Tanzania without climbing, hiking, or at the very least touching this iconic African landmark!
Lake Jipe
Plenty of fish, birds, and hippos. The fishing boats here have an almost Venetian look, with an African twist, of course! Experience authentic Tanzanian rural life around Lake Jipe and float around in complete tranquillity— you won’t come across any tourists here.
