Culture & Heritage
Discover the rich history, art and traditions of Tanzania
Tanzania is a destination of unparalleled nature in East Africa. It is famous for its vast plains where the Great Migration occurs, the imposing Mount Kilimanjaro and the exotic islands of Zanzibar, offering a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
Festivals & Events
It is the most famous route, including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara (famous for its climbing lions) and Tarangire National Park, known for its huge herds of elephants and ancient baobabs.
In addition to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania offers spectacular routes on Mount Meru and the Southern Highlands, ideal for those looking for high altitude hiking with less crowds.
Beyond the main island of Zanzibar (Unguja), lie the greener and more unspoilt Pemba Island and Mafia Island, a marine sanctuary perfect for world-class diving.
Serengeti Safari: The Spectacle of Life
To tour the Serengeti is to witness the Great Migration, one of the most impressive natural events on the planet. Millions of animals cross the plains in search of fresh pastures, facing predators in an epic fight for survival. Sleeping in a camp under the stars and waking up to the sound of the savannah is an experience that redefines the connection with nature.
Explore the Ngorongoro Crater
This inactive volcanic caldera is a unique ecosystem in the world. Inside, an astonishing density of animals coexists in a confined space, including the rare black rhinoceros. The views from the crater rim at dawn are simply breathtaking, offering a panoramic view of what many call the 'Noah's Ark' of Africa.
Relax on the Beaches of Zanzibar
After the intensity of the safari, the islands of Zanzibar offer a haven of peace. Its beaches of talcum-white sand and impossibly blue waters are perfect for relaxing. In addition to enjoying the sun, you can explore the barrier reef by snorkeling or diving at Mnemba Atoll.
Walk through History in Stone Town
The 'Stone City' is the historic heart of Zanzibar. Its narrow, labyrinthine streets are filled with carved wooden doors, vibrant spice markets and architecture that fuses Arabic, Indian and African influences. It is a place to get lost and discover the history of the spice trade and the cultural legacy of the Indian Ocean.
Coexistence with the Maasai Tribe
Visiting a Maasai 'boma' (village) allows you to get up close and personal with one of the most iconic cultures in Africa. Their red clothing, traditional jumps, and deep respect for the land and livestock offer a fascinating perspective on a way of life that has withstood the passing of modernity.
Conquer the Summit of Kilimanjaro
For trekking lovers, reaching Uhuru Peak at 5,895 meters is the ultimate challenge. Traversing five different climate zones, from rainforest to alpine desert to summit glaciers, is an unrivaled physical and mental journey that culminates with the most spectacular sunrise in Africa.
