Tanzania

Tanzania MapsFour times the size of Great Britain, Tanzania covers nearly a million square miles and contains 800 kilometres of coastline, part of the Rift Valley and more inland waters than any other African country.  However, it is the combination of its vast game-rich reserves and the Indian Ocean islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia which make Tanzania such an attractive destination for the discerning visitor.

For a perfect balance of big game, sandy beaches, coral reefs, old architecture and African/Arabian cultures Tanzania’s Southern Reserves With Exotic Zanzibar is hard to beat; The Tanzania Explorer – By Tented Camp incorporates some of the most fabulous wildlife areas in Tanzania and is the itinerary of choice to experience the legendary wildebeest migration; whilst The Remote Wilderness of Western Tanzania escapes the main safari routes to a land of open plains, chimpanzee forests and very few tourists, and even manages to include some relaxation time on Zanzibar at the end!

Tanzania

 

When to Go

Tanzania has two rainy seasons.  The long, heavy rains fall in March, April and May and the short, light rains fall in November and December. The best time to visit is between July and October when daytime temperatures are comfortable and nights are refreshingly cool.  One should avoid April and May when heavy rains can make travelling difficult.
