Why Visit Tanzania
Tanzania, the largest country in East Africa, is an extraordinary destination that captures the essence of Africa’s natural beauty and adventure. Nearly four times the size of the United Kingdom, Tanzania stands as East Africa’s number one tourist magnet, home to Africa’s highest mountain — Mount Kilimanjaro, and world-renowned wildlife havens such as the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
A Land of Diverse Wonders
Located on the eastern coast of Africa, Tanzania lies in the southern hemisphere and shares borders with Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique to the south, and the Indian Ocean to the east.
This remarkable geography gives Tanzania a stunning variety of landscapes — from the snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro to vast savannahs, lush forests, and pristine beaches.
Lakes and Waterfalls
Tanzania is also home to three of Africa’s Great Lakes:
Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake, found in the north and west,
Lake Tanganyika, the continent’s deepest lake, known for its rare and unique fish species,
and Lake Nyasa (Lake Malawi) to the south.
In the southwestern region of Rukwa, the Kalambo Falls — Africa’s second-highest uninterrupted waterfall — plunge dramatically near the southeastern shore of Lake Tanganyika, forming part of the border with Zambia.
Culture and Coastline
Along the eastern coast, the atmosphere turns tropical and humid, offering a gateway to the Zanzibar Archipelago — famous for its white sandy beaches, rich Swahili culture, and spice-scented air.
A True African Experience
From thrilling safaris in the Serengeti to the majestic heights of Kilimanjaro, and from the historic charm of Zanzibar to the tranquil beauty of the Great Lakes, Tanzania is a destination that offers something for every traveler — adventure, culture, and unmatched natural beauty.
