Tanzania is a land full of extreme diversities that can best be explained with one word; heavenly. This is so because the experience one has once in this beautiful land is the feeling of extreme peace and harmonious promises in both tourism and people. Tourism in Tanzania is extensive as is the country in terms of culture and massiveness of the land. Having a safari in Tanzania will mean that one can choose to visit a wide range of areas that have the best accommodations along with the best wildlife.
Traditionally, safaris in Tanzania have been concentrated in the north, which is home to the Serengeti National Park. There is also the famous and symbol of Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro. The north is popular with tourists mainly because of the eighth wonder of the world, which is the migration of more than a million wildebeest from Kenya to Tanzania and back. Many love to watch the Big Five Cats hunt wildebeest and other herbivores and other predators.
However, a safari in Tanzania will include other areas of this great land and a person must be ready and prepare for a true jungle safari. Ruaha National Park will be one of those places where you can see a wide variety of herbivores as well as some felines that dominate the park. The park is located in the southern part of Tanzania. Going further south, you’ll land in the Usungu National Reserve, which exhibits as many grazing animals as it does felines. A tour of the bush is ideal here.
The Mahale Mountains National Park would be the other ideal tourist destination. The park exhibits a large number of chimpanzees and has an equatorial climate because it is located on the shores of the great beauty of Lake Tanganyika. It is only 60 miles south of the exact spot where Stanley spoke the now immortal words, ‘Dr. Livingstone, I presume? The park is ideal for lovers of nature walks through the woods and would be the ideal distraction from the traditional tours of the north.
Planning a safari in Tanzania would mean that one gets to locate the destinations to frequent or stop over before embarking on the journey. This is mainly because the distances are extreme and the roads, although fine if you use a 4X4, are not very ideal if you are going to drive 100 kilometers on land.
The most extraordinary thing that every visitor learns here is the fact that Tanzania has more than 100 ethnic groups and each and every one of them are at peace with each other, in fact, the love that flows through this land is brotherly. So it is no wonder that every tourist, sitting at home with the aim of listing the best things about Tanzania, finds himself listing the hospitality of the Tanzanians. A safari in Tanzania will not be successful, at least in terms of enjoying and learning about the land itself, if you don’t interact with the locals. Tanzania tourism is surely heading to greater heights.
