Tanzania is one of Africa's richest natural treasure troves. Safari opportunities are truly unparalleled here, with 22 national parks to choose from. The Serengeti is the most famous of all. Thanks to its biodiversity and big cat populations as well as the annual Great Migration, the Serengeti has been featured in countless documentaries. It so quintessentially represents Africa and safari that it served as the inspiration for Disney's The Lion King.
While the Serengeti might be the best-known safari destination, don't snooze on Tanzania's other game reserves and national parks - Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Nyerere (aka Selous), and Kilimanjaro are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Jane Goodall famously conducted her Chimpanzee research in Gombe Stream National Park. Other natural superlatives also stack up. Tanzania is home to Africa's tallest mountain (Kilimanjaro), biggest lake (Lake Victoria), and deepest lake (Lake Tanganyika).
Beyond wonderful wildlife watching and captivating scenery, Tanzania is filled with human history. Within the Ngorongoro Crater, you'll find Olduvai Gorge, where fossils illustrate the most continuous known record of human evolution over the past 2 million years. In rock shelters on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, the Kondoa Rock Art illustrates human history dating back thousands of years. On Zanzibar, you can explore Stone Town, where Swahili, Arab, Persian, Indian, and European cultures create a diverse city that was once a hub of the spice & slave trades. Today, you'll still find incredible diversity. Just to give an idea, over 130 languages are spoken in Tanzania as many tribes and ethnic groups come together to form one country.
From the epic wildlife sightings and journeys across sweeping landscapes to the more understated moments conversing with warm, genuine hosts or simply enjoying the sounds of nature, Tanzania is a place that sticks in my mind. If you're ever blessed with a chance to visit, jump on it. Your only concern will be that you, too, will spend your life dreaming of your return to this magical place.
