Let’s Plan Our Holiday

Tanzania is a country of contrasts and great variety. Dar Es Salaam is the Capital and largest city of the country. It is also the principal port of Tanzania. Remnants of the colonial period can be seen around its city center. Places to visit: National Museum, St. Joseph’s Cathedral, White father’s Mission house, Botanical Gardens, State House. Visiting the many colourful markets is also a great way to enjoy the typical African atmosphere. A little to the north, offshore, lies the tropical island of Zanzibar (formerly famous for its slave and ivory trade). Nowadays the islands Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia are a holiday paradise, where diving and snorkeling are the favorite sports.

The mainland of Tanzania is the ultimate place for a wildlife safari. To the North we find the Serengeti planes, Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro and Lake Manyara. In the South-East we find Selous Game Reserve where boat safaris are possible among the Rufigi River. To the east, Katavi national park is the most untouched part of the entire country. At Mwanza you reach Victoria Lake and here Rubondo Island National Park offers a nice break from the normal game drive.
