Therefore, traveling on Tanzania Safari Tour and taking part in other activities related to the wildlife of the region is among the top popular activities to experience in Tanzania and are the main reason why so many go to the country.

We’ve compiled an index of Tanzania’s top well-known tourist destinations to help you explore your options and discover the fascinating places to visit.

  1. Mount Kilimanjaro

The highest spot on the African continent (5,895 meters) is Mount Kilimanjaro and is also Tanzania’s top well-known landmark. Mount Kilimanjaro National Park, unlike the other parks located in northern Tanzania is not visited to view the wildlife , but rather to experience being amazed by the stunning snow-capped mountain and, for a lot of people, the chance to ascend to the top. While it is possible to climb Mount Kilimanjaro at any time during all seasons, the ideal time to ascend Mount Kilimanjaro is from late June through October, the time of the dry season.

More than One million years ago, the activity of volcanic eruptions within the Rift Valley was the reason for the creation of Kilimanjaro, which is currently designated a World Heritage Site. At around 750,000 years ago, three volcanic cones namely Shira, Kibo, and Mawenzi emerged at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Uhuru Peak, which is situated at the foot of the Kibo mountain and is among the Seven Summits, is the highest elevation in Africa.

The lower part of that mountain has farmland and gradually it transforms into a rainforest and an alpine meadow before ending in a lunar-like scene at the summit. The buffaloes, leopards, elephants, elands, and buffaloes are just a few of the animals that call the slopes of the rainforest their home. The bird watchers who go to the zone of alpine will be most likely to encounter a variety of Raptors.

  1. Serengeti National Park

Then there is the famous Serengeti National Park which protects a vast plain without trees that houses millions of animals. While it is most well-known for its annual migration of wildebeest, those who visit the Serengeti can also see some of the “Big Five” mammals and one of the more than 500 bird species recognized in the park. It also serves as a migration route for other animals searching for new grasslands.

  1. Zanzibar Beaches

Zanzibar is an island in the middle of Zanzibar that is also known as Unguja, is among the most sought-after tourist destinations of Tanzania and is renowned for its beautiful beaches. The island, which is composed of the Zanzibar archipelago, also comprises Zanzibar and Pemba and is where you can find some of the most stunning beaches anywhere on earth. Despite being a place where the ocean waves differ depending on the part of the island you’re on, you will see powdery white sand and clear shallow water, along with traditional boats along the shoreline.
